During a recent NFL game, a play involving a potential turnover by Johnson of the Pittsburgh Steelers was scrutinized. Initially, it appeared Johnson lost the ball to Jackson as he was going out of bounds, leading to a review to determine if he was out of bounds before the ball was lost. After review, it was established that Johnson was out of bounds when he fumbled, which by rule allowed the Steelers to maintain possession and secure a first down. In a separate incident, T.J. Watt was involved in a play where he forced and seemingly recovered a fumble. However, officials ruled it as an incomplete forward pass. Watt, who had briefly left the field due to an injury, was able to return to play shortly after.

Call overturned. The fumbling player touched the ball out of bounds so it's Pittsburgh ball.

Johnson lost the ball as he was going out of bounds and it went to Jackson's hands. Question will be if he is out of bounds first. https://t.co/b1eSYqEbLl
