Why replay overturned Laquon Treadwell's overtime fumble vs. Chiefs
"Sunday Night Football" nearly ended before replay overturned a would-be fumble by Laquon Treadwell.
In a dramatic Sunday Night Football game, the overtime fumble by Colts WR Laquon Treadwell nearly ended with a turnover to the Chiefs. However, replay officials overturned the call, extending the game by ruling Treadwell down by contact. The sequence occurred after the Colts forced a Chiefs field goal to start overtime, giving themselves a chance to tie or win the game.
Daniel Jones connected with Treadwell on a deep pass into the red zone, but the Chiefs recovered, celebrating what they thought was a game-ending fumble. Upon review, officials determined that Treadwell had gained control of the ball before being touched by a defender, making it a completed catch and a down by contact. The Colts settled for a game-tying field goal, giving the ball back to the Chiefs, but the replay ruling extended the game.
