As you can see, he obviously reported as eligible. Somehow, the referees missed it and negated the six-yard play. For the first time since the inaugural season in 1920 a referee missed a call in a football game. If the Ravens are looking for a silver lining, at least it happened in 2015 when someone from their official website could blog about it.By the way… What more does an OL have to do to report? Look at Urschel. pic.twitter.com/OP9ZxDtjX3

The Ravens had to settle for a field goal on that drive. That's possibly four points stolen right from them! Blargh!Later in the game, referees did not rule Chris Johnson as being down after running for a short gain. Ravens defensive lineman Brandon Williams felt he stopped Johnson's forward progress and therefore let go of him while the running back was sitting on his tummy. Johnson scooted away for what would be a 62-yard gain. AND A TRAVESTY!"John did everything he's supposed to do in this situation, just as he's coached," Harbaugh said. "Joe looked at it, he saw it, I saw it. Then there was an announcement; you couldn't hear what the announcement was because you never can."
The forward progress was stopped," Harbaugh said. "If you hit him in that situation, then you're going to get fined and stopped. For three seconds it was stopped. He had called himself down and was sitting there. We shouldn't hit him; it would have been a dangerous play."
That is pretty close. It's a tough call made even worse because no other team has ever had a call like this go against them. A fumble that maybe wasn't because video showed his knee maybe microscopically went down nanoseconds before the ball popped out? What are the odds?! What a bummer for the poor Ravens.[Ravens, seriously]Fumble on the field, call stood. About as close as it can get. pic.twitter.com/kZGWKsJ40g
