Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Like most people, I thought the officials' short spot of what looked like a first-down run by DJ Ware in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game was incorrect. The Giants didn't challenge, and to make matters worse, TV showed no replay - although Pereira tweeted that he saw a replay and it was the right call. Thanks to the excellent blog FootballZebras, though, there's evidence that the call was actually correct - Ware's butt was down short of the first down. The real culprits here are Fox, for not showing any replays that would have confirmed the refs' spot on the play.

I have to admit

I went back and watched the replay. I froze the video as his butt hit the ground. The spot called on the field was correct. Ware was short of the FD.

I also watched the fumble again

it was unquestionably a fumble. The ball was coming loose prior to his calf contacting the ground. The calf was first to hit the ground but the ball was already coming out.
