Scenario
short yardage
RB carries up the middle and reaches for the first down with one hand on the ball
while the ball is outstretched, a defender grabs the ball, but the RB never lets go or loses contact with the ball as both hit the ground
visually, the defender is wrapped around the ball and the RB’s hand, with the hand on the ball
is this a fumble or a first down?
