Ridley Fumble - Proof

Show this picture to anyone who tells you that Ridley was down before he fumbles. At this point, Ridley is losing control of the ball and has not touched down at any point. Grabbed this myself from the footage.

Re: Ridley Fumble - Proof
I was really worried they'd overturn it given the one sided nature of the officiating to that point, but they got it right.
IMO, that might have been the play were the Ravens "won" the game. Seemed like after that, and the Ravens quick score, the Pats looked like they wanted nothing to do with the Ravens.

Re: Ridley Fumble - Proof
Regardless, I hope Ridley is okay. From our vantage point watching the tube, it appeared that the hit was not so much Pollard trying to hurt Ridley as it seemed Ridley ducked his helmet down (unintentionally) and hit Pollard. Watching it in live action made me cringe and I knew there would be a consequence. Hopefully he doesn't suffer any serious harm.

Heres another frame. Hes still not down, and the ball is definitely not in his control.

Re: Ridley Fumble - Proof
Look closely at his hand: notice how his fingers are fully extended?
You can't hold the ball with your hand opened up like that.
The ball also appears to have slipped back against his wrist--again impossible to hold a football when it's fat middle is up against your wrist.
It was a fumble--the official after the replay review announced that it had been confirmed, not just that the play stood as called.
He's not going to say 'confirmed' unless he clearly saw that it was a fumble.
EDIT: this was in reference to the 1st picture:
