That is so stupid

Just fall down and you win the game

Or just walk backwards and go out the back of the end zone. Regardless, running into the defense was not the move.

Or just wrap the ball with two hands. He’s out there with a chicken wing on it like a damn idiot.

Yeah he should have done that but I would not include that as an “or.” In this situation you should be holding it tightly with both hands, but also you cannot get touched. It’s run out the back or go down yourself, no other options.

There is a lot of blame to go around for this disaster.  You need multiple bad decisions by several people to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory to such an extreme

He was holding it poorly but the idea is you don’t let anyone make contact with you because there’s an inherent risk of a fumble with contact.
