    Giants vs. Cowboys fumble call

    Are my ears and eyes decieving me or did they just call an obvious fumble by the Giants "Down by contact" to clinch the game? I can't say whom recovered the ball but it was most definitely a fumble and I beieve at least one official ruled it a Cowboy recovery and was over ruled to what they said was "down by contact" NOT "recovery by Giants"
    It was clearly a fumble, then the Giant sat on the ball but no clear recovery was noted.

    BTW I rooted for the Giants . They probably just misspoke, I hope.

    So did either of them win more games than they lost this season?

    In the end it didn't matter because The Washington Footbal team beat the Eagles that night , but at the time it could of easily determined the division winner.

    At first, officials said Gallman was down before losing control of the ball. That was clearly not the case. But replays showed he did manage to recover the ball while on the ground, which led referees to award possession to the Giants. What happened thereafter wasn't pertinent to the final ruling.
