During the Broncos vs Steelers playoff game, the Broncos' Jordan Norwood picked up ball that had been punted, and subsequently touched by the Steelers .. I have embedded the GIF below ..
The play was nullified by a penalty on the Broncos for having the team come off the sideline before the play was dead ..
My question is: Would this play have stood as a touchdown, even though Shamarko Thomas ( #29 ) touched the ball ?? ( ..these was also the question whether Thomas was out of bounds when he touched the ball, but we'll ignore that for now )
Is a player on the receiving team allowed to advance the ball after a player on the kicking team touches it as Thomas did ??
My impression is that it is still a live ball, and Norwood's TD would have stood had the Broncos players not come onto the field thinking the play was dead ..
Thanks guys !!
