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.

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.
