Also, please let us know if TV announces if any officials are retiring. This is the week they do it.

The natural turf is holding up remarkably well. But, the officials are absolutely soaked in this driving rain.

Missed a horse collar foul on an Indy run up the middle. Didn't John Parry explain that since this was still within the lateral limits of the O-line, horse collar does not apply? Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought that's what I heard.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought that's what I heard. This rarely happens with a nonquarterback, but that is correct. Because players aren't full-speed running, the risk of injury is not that much. As I understand it, when an open-field runner who is tackled by a horse-collar pull, the runner's knees are still in forward momentum, and the torque on the ligaments causes these season- and career-ending injuries. Typically we see this with quarterbacks who are still in the pocket, but it applies to any runner. And we can see the way the runner was pulled down in this case -- sort of backward and down -- that there just isn't the same force against the knees that causes injury.

It been several years since I officiated, but, if I'm not mistaken, this would not have been a foul under Federation rules. It only is a foul if the ball crosses the plane of the sideline before it is touched by R. "Obscure"might be the wrong word. More accurate to say "different than other rules codes," but most announcers aren't going to say that. As a fan, I would say this NFL rule (i.e. that a player can lie with his feet on the sideline and touch a kick that is in bounds by several feet, and it is a kick OOB foul) is a bit silly. Essentially R gets to create a foul on an otherwise legally executed kick and makes the field 6+ feet less wide on each side for the kicker.

Referee Clete Blakeman is cool as a cucumber on this pass/fumble play recovered by the Buccaneers.
The pass/fumble is one of the most difficult for a referee. Retired referee Bernie Kukar once said usually when the quarterback is hit from behind and the ball comes loose, it is a fumble. Usually.

Line judge Kevin Codey and field judge Aaron Santi both made a great call on this Justin Jefferson toe-tapping catch.
Also, Codey got a nice progress spot, putting Jefferson a half yard short of a first down.
