I was looking at this and was curious, the Bengals QB is standing outside the endzone when he is tackled, is "forward progress" not counted here?
It's right at the end.Need a timestamp.
They don't play until Sunday, how do you already have video?
It's right at the end.
Anyway, it's a safety because the football has to completely clear the goal line for it to be considered in the field of play. Similar to how the nose of the ball only has to touch the line for the offense to score a touchdown, the ball is not considered out of the endzone unless the entire ball is beyond the line. It looked pretty clear to me that when the QB was contacted the ball was on the goal line, which would be a safety.
