No timeouts, so no challenge

[The_Philster]

Why didn't the Jets challenge Lee Evans' 27-yard reception down the right sideline with 2:37 left?

They had no timeouts remaining, and by rule, were not allowed to challenge. Coach Herman Edwards said he "absolutely" would've challenged the ruling that Evans had both feet inbounds and possession of the ball. The play essentially denied the Jets a final chance to possess the ball. Replays appeared inconclusive. The Jets used all three second-half timeouts on defense in the fourth quarter, trying to preserve time for a comeback....more

he would have lost the challenge too.

[The_Philster]

Yes he would've. I was listening to the postgame on the drive home and they talked like it would be inconclusive. When I watched the highlights on Primetime, they clearly showed it was a good catch.

I taped the game and watched that play several times. You can see how his left foot drags.

I missed it. They cut in with 4 change left on the clock.

Yes, he did drag his left foot. How good is that from a rookie receiver? It may sound basic but you only need one foot in college and it takes time to make the idea of 2 feet down second nature. And dragging the foot was good work in any case. That was a clutch play by Evans and Drew.

Yup, Jets fans can grouse about officiating all they want, but that one was a good call.

[Michael82]

Yeah it was a good call. The best part was you could see the rubber pellets flying when he dragged his left foot too.

[Ebenezer]

he would have lost the challenge too.

sucks to be them...they called the TOs to preserve the clock...without a lucky ass pass to Moss when Carter was trying to throw it away, the game wouldn't have been that close.
