Trailing 38-31, the Broncos (2-0) reached the Chargers’ 1 but on third-and-goal, Cutler reared back to throw and the ball slipped out of his hands, bounced off the grass and into linebacker Tim Dobbins’ hands.
But referee Ed Hochuli blew his whistle, apparently ruling it an incomplete pass. After a review, Hochuli said that the Broncos would keep the ball because his whistle had blown the play dead. The Broncos got the ball at the 10-yard line, where it had hit the grass out of Cutler’s hands.
Two plays later, Cutler hit Royal for the TD to make it 38-37.
Since when is the ball placed where it landed after an incomplete pass? Hochuli blew this call and it cost the Chargers the game. this should have been ruled (a fumble recovered by the Chargers) and the final score should read 38-31 Chargers. the Bolts came back after being down 21-3 in Denver just to have the rug pulled out from under them.
