Stopping when the play is blown dead is giving up on a play? Apparently the rule works in our favor not to fall on it "just in case" so I'm okay with it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Is that true? How so? The announcers basically said that since all players stopped at the whistle there isn't a recovery. If they kept going for it and didn't get it, Vikings keep it. I don't know I'm still confused by the series of events. Other instances where hustle hurt the Bears like that was giving up before the whistle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
