Controversy fell on Thursday Night Football during the first quarter. What was an interception for Seattle Seahawks DB Coby Bryant quickly turned into a five-yard gain for the Arizona Cardinals.
Bryant picked off Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray during the opening minutes of the Week 4 matchup. Bryant was brought down, but lost the ball on the way down. Video evidence appeared to show Bryant down before losing the football. Instead, the Cardinals were awarded the fumble recovery.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks defense was celebrating in the end zone thinking they had just given the ball back to their defense. Instead, they were going to be playing the next snap once the review was finished.
But then the Cardinals get the ball back on a fumble!

In the end, the officials concluded that upon review, the runner was not down by contact and the play was upheld. The ruling of a fumble recovered by Arizona stands.
