I think They ruled that he signaled for fair catch, but since he failed to catch it, it is down where he possessed it.
I honestly could not see the signal (and I haven’t gone back to rewatch this one) but it struck me as odd that he would have signal since we have not done that all year!
You are correct on the kickoff rule. If the return man calls for a fair catch but the ball hits the field first it is down once a player touches the ball at the spot where the player touches the ball.

Singelton waved his arm while he was in the EZ. It was clear he was calling for a fair catch. I believe he thought the ball was going to come to him around the goal line but miss judged the flight of the kick. Once he called for the FC he was screwed not catching the ball on the fly.

Yes. He should have just come up and let the ball go over his head into the end zone. "I'm sorry! I didn't see it!" This particular brand of Italian soccer is played all the time. Singleton's problem is that he's too honest.

Yeah, that play completely confuse dme. I thought if you called for a fiar catch then you got it on the 25 no matter where you caught it. Is that wrong? Thge play was whisteled dead the moment he caught the ball, he wasn’t tackled at the 4...
I think you have to actually catch it to get it on the 25

The ball bounced short of the EZ and was not going in, that was the issue.

The problem was the ball hit the ground around the 4 yard line so the ball was not going over his head. He made a mistake, it happens. Fortunately that was our 10;35 minute drive so it didn't hurt us.

That drive ended in a FG from the 13.

Maybe could’ve reached the end zone if it started further up…

This isn’t a GT stat, but I felt I should share

Oddly enough, I was at this game. For those of you who didn't see it, read the stat again.

I think about 300 of those yards were interceptions he threw, including 2 (or was it 3?) pick-6's from far down the opposite side of the field.
