Why no challenge?? (1 Viewer)

We had 2 opportunities to challenge a play. The most meaning was the Devonta Smith fumble and the other was the Kamara 4th downstairs rush that they ruled short. Looked very close.

Any idea why?

You can't challenge a blown whistle, and you can't blow timeouts in the second half. Refs never overturn those kinds of calls.

Didn't know or hear the whistle was blown. Thanks for update. So basically a few bang bang play.
I disagree with you on Kamara play, that was worth a challenge especially since we could have got a field goal out of it.

The fact they didn't have a view down the sideline means they were never going to overturn that call. We probably got a bad spot but what was called on the field was going to stand.

Turnovers, including turnovers on downs, are automatic booth reviews if applicable. Can’t challenge…in fact, I believe if you challenge it you’ll get a delay of game penalty.

Also, Smith’s forward progress was ruled stopped…by rule, that too is not challengeable.

They should have kicked the fg there, period. You never, ever pass up points in a defensive battle like this one was. It was 3-0 at the time.

I agree, defensive battle. A field goal and play the field position game. We were having a hard time getting yards.
