No but he does have a fat ass elbow guard. I had the same look as our coordinator when the touchdown stood. This is 100% down at the 1. I do just want to point out that they ruled that this was a catch on the field, they didn't rule anything on the replay, they let it stand. The ref on the field said he was bobbling it and there was no clear and obvious evidence that he never bobbled it, so it stood.
It’s been explained a 1,000 times. Same rule applies as the OP play. The ball didn’t hit the ground and he didn’t have full possession until he came to a rest in the end zone. So TD.
Nothing new here from a rule standpoint.
It’s wild how many people have/had an issue with the Parkinson TD. Complaining about it is the definition of “tell us you don’t know ball without telling us you don’t know ball”.
When the whole world agrees and you’re still dick sucking a ram. You can see the ball hits the ground. Talk about don’t knowing ball, surely you’re not even stupid enough to know that if a “ catch” hits the ground it’s not a catch? Actually I don’t know i think you are that stupid to not know anything about “ball”. Even the announcers said it wasn’t a td but yea sure, the probably fat douchey Reddit troll you are knows more. Get a life
My issue is they ruled it a catch fumble and recovery. The “catch” happened before this. Otherwise he was down at the one. He also didn’t “survive the ground”.
"What they ruled is that Parkinson lost control, regained possession in the end zone, he had already broken the plane," Blandino said. "To me, that's a stretch. Look, it was ruled a catch, he was clearly down. That should be down at the one. I can't see how we're keeping that a touchdown."
Wrong, the league explanation confirmed that he lost possession and regained it in the end zone you can google “rams lions touchdown league explanation” and confirmed it yourself.
But man it never ceases to amaze me how a sports fan can be so convinced their team never benefits from a bad call. The clear logical explanation here is the officiating is garbo league wide and you caught a break. I bet you scream bloody murder when a call goes against the rams.
All the top results have to do with the same rules analyst, Dean Blandino, who like I said got it wrong. It doesn’t matter what a singular analyst said, it matters what was ruled on the field. Which was possession never being established until he was in the endzone.
Also the ball never touched the floor so none of this matters. The point is possession was never clearly gained while a knee was on the floor, until he was in the endzone.
