Jacksonville returned a Saquon Barkley fumble for a touchdown on Sunday evening, a call that stood despite contact from a Jags’ player. Vice President of Replay Training and Development Mark Butterworth explained why after the game:

A “pool report” is when a designated reporter speaks to a person and then relays the information back to the group. It’s usually done when getting official word from the refs.
It’s really hard to tell if Saquon was off-balanced by the swipe at his calf before he ran into Landon Dickerson. The best replay angle is the second one in this video, where you get a clear look from behind the play:

Saquon could have gotten up and kept running there, but he didn’t. So it seemed at the time like he thought he was down by contact, with the ground being unable to cause a fumble. The refs saw it another way. It was a crucial play in the second half and changed the game entirely.
