Can somebody explain to me why Donald's FF did not go down as a sack or TFL? Are they suggesting Mariotta just dropped the football???
Aaron Donald - no sack?

Maybe, but that would be one hell of an obscure way to score it. The actual play he made was a sack - I find it hard to believe that if a player sacks a QB and they fumble, and the ball is advanced forward, that it's not officially scored a sack. That has nothing to do with what happens after the fumble.

Titans' OL did a great job neutralizing him. Theirs is one of the better lines in the NFL.

If you're not getting called for holding then you'd be foolish to not hold. Lewan held Quinn a LOT today with his left arm wrapped around Quinn as he was going around the LT.

Yeah they held the F out of Quinn. But I don't want to judge them just on that. Truth is the Titans won much of the game in the trenches and they did a great job on AD.

That was strip sack that he had on Mariota. They are counting that as one right?

The one thing, scratch that, one of the many things the refs got wrong was that they gave the Titans forward progress after a fumble under 2:00. The ball should have been spotted at the scrum. That's the Holy Roller rule.
If I'm mistaken, someone please correct me. Been a while since I reffed in college.

I believe it was because the same person who fumbled, recovered and advanced the ball...but don't hold me to that

The OL for the Titians did a good job, Rams were having trouble getting pressure on the QB all day. At one point I even asked my daughter if Donald was on the field.

Just checked NFL.com, looks like WP is gonna have to ask about that sack/fumble. It should go as a sack, the fumble occurred behind the line of scrimmage. Unless Mariota recovering it makes it like it didnt happen, but they credited AD with the FF so the sack should be a part of that.

I think it was because Mariota fumbled it so he could advance it, but nobody else could have.

That is the new technique, it only works on Rams DL, it is a hold if you do it to any other DL.

No stat correction on Wednesday. Would really like an explanation for this one.
