    It was a fumble. His arm was hit. The hit was simultaneous. I think this is still a contact sport?

      The arm and ball were moving forward before it came out. It wasn’t even all that close. You review it 1000 times and 0 of them are a fumble. The ball has to be loose on the backswing to be a fumble. Any forward motion at all with the ball not clearly loose makes it a pass.

      You can’t hit a QB in the head. You especially can’t hit a QB only in the head.

      The arm was hit but he was passing the ball. That’s a forward pass, can’t be a fumble.

      And yes it’s a contact sport, but you can’t hit people in the head, especially the QB.
