For those not watching (and why would you?) Punt returner catches the ball, gets hit by a defender, spins and then runs it in for go ahead TD with like a minute left in the game. No flags. They review the play, everyone assumes it was to see if he stepped out of bounds. He stayed in, by inches, but obviously stayed in. Refs say he waved his hand, so it counts as a fair catch and ruled the ball down where he caught it. If it was a fair catch, they HAVE to give ax15 yard unnecessary roughness on the defense, because they hit him full on 100% live ball. But it wasn't a penalty, because there was no way that could ever be misconstrued as a fair catch. Never ever.
