Because rules and all:


Article 6 Fumble After Two-Minute Warning. If a fumble by either team occurs after the two-minute warning:






(a) The ball may be advanced by any opponent.


(b) The player who fumbled is the only player of his team who is permitted to recover and advance the ball.

(c) If the recovery or catch is by a teammate of the player who fumbled, the ball is dead, and the spot of the next snap is

the spot of the fumble, or the spot of the recovery if the spot of the recovery is behind the spot of the fumble.

At 2:41, I really liked Elliot's blitz pickup. He realized that the Dlineman was being blocked so he moved on and blocked Dak's weaksode. He still got sacked but I think the initial blitz pickup was nice.

I'm one of the bigger optimists here, even though I generally don't post a lot. But this video gave me actual pause for the first time...

Dallas kept coming out in that weird formation with only 3 lineman, and for what seemed like an entire drive they ran handoff after handoff from that formation & Elliot racked up 10 yard gains every time. How is it possible to run with only 3 lineman in front of you? I've never seen this formation in Madden before, but I don't care for it. Looks like the D was tricked into "covering" the lineman who lined up wide, leaving nobody to tackle Elliot except the safety's.

I have to be missing something. I've been up since 4am so maybe my brain is missing something obvious?

Sorry, I understand that rule but this type of result also occurs at other times in the game and the same thing happens including outside of the 2 minute mark.
