A St. Louis player had touched it already (accidentally). At that point the bears can pick it up and get a free run....basically the worst case scenario is the ball is the bears where it was touched, best case scenario he runs it for a TD The worst case scenario is that a Rams player never did touch the ball and Worrell costs the Bears the game. There's nothing to be gained from it, but plenty to lose. And that's two weeks in a row that he's done that. lol, a rams player DID touch it thats why he did it. and there is something to be gained from it, if he picks it up after they touch it nothing but good can happen. the worst thing that can happen is the bears get the ball where he picked up... There are five Rams around that ball. And what if the refs miss it? Then Lovie has to blow a challenge just to get the ball back. Where would Worrell run with it? The ball was completely surrounded.
