Ladt night I was watching the Saints/Giants game. A Saints reciever was
running towards the goal line (Joe Horn, IIRC) with the ball. He was
tackled around the 1 or 2 yard line. Before he went down, he stretched
out and attempted to break the plane with the ball for the TD. When he
did that, the ball came loose (he was still in bounds) and hit the
pie-line (that orange stick), and the ball went out of bounds.

The referees called it a touchback and the Giants got the ball on the
20.

What the heck? Why isn't it Saints ball on the 1 yard line?

Why is this a touchback? How can they justify that the ball goes back
to the other Giants? How can the Giants get possesion without ever
having touched the ball?

It blew the over/under, so I am pissed!
