Refs Screwed The Jaguars Out Of A Touchdown In The Fourth Quarter During Myles Jack Forced Fumble

It wouldn’t be a Patriots playoff game without some controversy. In the fourth quarter of today’s Patriots-Jaguars game Jags linebacker Myles Jack was able to force a fumble by stripping the ball away from Dion Lewis. After the ball was stripped Jacked picked up the ball and was never touched but the refs called the play dead for whatever reason.

Jack wasn’t touched after the recovery. That should’ve been a Jaguars touchdown.

As incredible as that Myles Jack strip/recovery was, if the refs hadn't incorrectly blown it dead on the field that's a touchdown for Jacksonville. Pats getting bailed out AGAIN.

There's a really good chance this blown call ruling Myles Jack down when he would have scored a game-clinching touchdown will be the most important play of the game and it will be hardly even mentioned. He was never touched after he gained possession. JAXvsNE #AFCChampionship pic.twitter.com/1SNBhkGxom

Myles Jack was not touched after he gained possession, was he? Refs blew it dead too soon. That could have been a touchdown.

The refs just cheated Myles Jack out of a touchdown. How can you blow the play dead, but then give JAX the ball?????? What a joke lol

So turns out Myles Jack should’ve been able to run in for a touchdown after turnover. Wasn’t touched. Pats get very lucky with a call yet again. #JAXvsNE
