According the NFL Rule Book an “act common to game” is extending the football forward, taking a step further, tucking it away and turning the ball upfield, or to avoid or ward off an opponent or to maintain control of the soccer ball for long enough.

After the first two steps had been checked, did Likely continue to advance the ball? He avoided or warded off an opponent.

Likely stated, “They made a decision and we will have to accept what the referees decide at the end.” “I guess I just have to put my third foot down.”

Jackson and the Ravens players believed it to be a touchdown.

“I think so.” Jackson replied, “I thought so.” “In the endzone, you’re taking steps.” [Their guy] kept punching the ball. “That’s all I see.”

Ronnie Stanley, left tackle, said: “I’m sure common sense would tell you this is a trap.” “A lot is overthought but it’s what it is.”

After the incomplete pass, the Ravens had a second and 10 after which they lost 2 yards on a third-and-2. Then Jackson’s pass to Mark Andrews or DeAndre Hoskins was intercepted.

Likely was the second ruling of the fourth quarter, which went against the Ravens. Aaron Rodgers’ pass was batted earlier at the line. Teddye Buchanan and he both grabbed the rebound. The Ravens linebacker took it.

After replay, however, it was determined that Rodgers had his knees down prior to losing possession. Rodgers completed a pass for himself instead of the Ravens gaining possession at the 32-yard mark.
