Mike McDaniel plans to reach out to the NFL to discuss whether Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen properly took a knee before halftime against the Miami Dolphins or if the play should’ve been ruled as a fumble. The league is going to give him a very simple answer.
He was down…
First and foremost, Allen’s knee hit the turf on his second effort. Secondly, NFL rules allow for a player to give himself up without putting a knee to the ground.
The play in question took place right before halftime on Thursday night. The Bills chose to let the clock run down to zero to head into the locker room with the game tied at 14.
However, Allen fumbled the snap when he tried to take a knee.
Nobody thought anything of it at first! Both teams went into their respective locker rooms at halftime.
A video on social media raised questions after the fact.
Did Allen’s knee ever hit the ground? It looks like he might’ve handed a live ball to the officials.
