Von ESPN:
"Dungy said he was notified by the league that Mike Vanderjagt's pop-up onside kick -- snatched out of the air by Idrees Bashir -- against Tampa Bay was illegal. The reason: The ball did not touch the ground, and the Colts didn't give the Buccaneers a chance to catch the ball.
Indianapolis should have been penalized 15 yards, and Tampa Bay retained possession. But according to the rules, the Bucs might have had no recourse.
"We've not said anything in the rules about whether a kick hits the ground or not," Dungy said. "Now that's as big a play as you can have, and if the official doesn't think it hit the ground, you can't go back and replay it.""
Könnte bitte einer der Regelkundigen mal ein bisserl Licht ins Dunkel meines Verständnisses bringen?
