Samuel thought he'd taken out Patrick Mahomes on the Bosses' most hostile part of the 2nd half.

“What we saw was that the ball did hit the ground and that he had not secured.." said NFL V.P.

"...and maintained control of the ball after it hit the ground." V.P. Walt Anderson continued

"We saw movement of the ball after it hit the ground, and then the ground ended up helping him re-secure it.”

“The ball hit the ground as he was going down, and... he did not maintain control of the ball.”

Is it clear that the choice that Samuel got control of the ball before it hit the ground was wrong?

Well, the question was neither asked nor was it answered by Anderson or any other person in the room

That is the main inquiry that should have been posed, and that should have filled a lot of blanks.
