Tom Coughlin: NFL acknowledges Jaguars' Myles Jack wasn't down in AFC Championship game
We all knew that Jacksonville Jaguars' linebacker Myles Jack wasn't down on the fumble that he forced and then recovered in the fourth quarter of the 2017 AFC Championship game against New England. Well, the NFL has apparently acknowledged that as well, although that obviously doesn't change the outcome of the game. Advertisement Let's rewind. The Jaguars were up 20-10 early in the fourth quarter of that game. The Patriots were just shy of midfield, and in an effort to drum up some offense, they dialed up a double-pass to Dion Lewis, who was picking up some chunk yardage on the play. But from behind came Jack, who forced the fumble, recovered it, and began running towards the Jaguars' end zone with a very clear path to six points. However, the refs blew the play dead, saying that Jack was down upon recovering the fumble. The Patriots' defense would go on to get a stop, rally from their 10-point deficit, and ultimately win the game, securing another Super Bowl berth. Now, back to today, Tom Coughlin was making a recent appearance on 1010XL with Dan Hicken and said that the NFL acknowledged that they got the call wrong. Advertisement "How you keep quiet over that one?" said Coughlin. "And I got the compulsory letter which said, we're so sorry. My response to the league was, 'do you realize what that would have meant to this town, this city, if that had been properly officiated?' Because the ball is in the end zone, right? There's nobody there left, and they get the ball, Brady takes it down, and like he's done so many times." That loss was the beginning of the end for Sacksonville. The Jaguars would go 5-11 in 2018 as numerous key players from that defense ended up elsewhere over the next few years.
