IMO the fault falls on both of them. The handoff by Brady was a little high and Maroney was late in bringing his top hand up. He made the same mistake many young RB's make, instead of letting the QB place the ball in their stomach, they reach out for the ball and disrupt the timing of the play.Actually that was Brady fault because he hit maroney's hand instead of his gut, the RB never looks the ball into his gutDid you even watch the game?The NFL stats have to credit the fumble to Brady, because Maroney never got control of the ball, but clearly Maroney botched the handoff and was looking for the hole before he got the ball.Tom FUMBLED, and got lucky... great leadership3-1-IND0 (7:36) T.Brady FUMBLES (Aborted) at IND 4, touched at IND 2, recovered by NE-L.Mankins at IND 0.
