As to one of the most important plays of the Week Two game between the Chargers and the Chiefs, it's fair to ask whether the league office applied the proper ...
What there clear and obvious evidence that the ruling on the field was wrong? Here’s another rule of thumb for assessing whether the evidence to justify overturning the ruling on the field is clear and obvious. The ruling on the field can be overturned only if clear and obvious evidence shows that a mistake was made. Which means that, even if the ruling would have been incompletion if the rules required no deference to the decision made on the field, the outcome under the very high standard for replay review should have been interception. We saw movement of the ball after it hit the ground, an then the ground ended up helping him re-secure it.” The standard that supposedly applies can be forgotten.
Asante Samuel trolled his son Asante Samuel Jr. on Twitter for dropping an easy interception in the Chargers' loss to the Chiefs.
If Samuel Sr. After Samuel Jr. I dropped 8-10 interceptions my 2nd year, 4 in one game. The elder Samuel then mentioned how he dropped several would-be interceptions during his second season. The ball bounced off his hands and he was unable to corral it as he was going to the ground. One of them was a dropped interception from Asante Samuel Jr., and the young cornerback got no sympathy from his own father.
The NFL referees did their best to explain why the potential game-changing interception made by Asante Samuel Jr. was overturned on Thursday Night Football.
As far as the Bolts coming up short in Kansas City, that stinks, but that is just part of the game of football. The controversial part of this is the viewers were not privy to an angle on the Amazon telecast that definitively showed the football moving as it hit the ground while Samuel fell down. Amazon is a well-run company and it will figure it out, but the streaming service does not have the banked reps like CBS, ESPN, FOX or NBC have broadcasting NFL games. Instead, the call on the field was overturned, allowing the Chiefs to pull off the comeback bid. In the meantime, let’s just hope Justin Herbert is not hurt too bad. Samuel initially thought he picked off Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs’ first offensive possession of the second half.

The controversial part of this is that viewers on the Amazon show weren’t privy to an angle that definitely showed the football moving as it hit the ground while Samuel fell. Amazon is a well-run company and will find out, but the streaming service hasn’t had the bank reps like CBS, ESPN, FOX, or NBC that carry NFL games. Instead, the call was canceled on the field, allowing the Chiefs to follow through with the comeback bid. Most games are decided by just one possession at the highest level of the game. Los Angeles will have a chance to make amends when the Chiefs come to SoFi in two months for the other leg of their annual rivalry series.

Clear and obvious. If making a determination without the “clear and obvious” deference, it’s not a catch. The ball struck the ground. Where, we asked, was the clear and obvious evidence that the on-field ruling of an interception was wrong? In response, a league source pointed out a Week One play that bolsters the position. When seeing what happened in HD, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that the replay function shouldn’t trigger a re-officiating of the play.
The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback shared the perfect response to the Chargers' safety in the critical moment.
