My outside linebacker breaks off his blocker and makes the tackle at the one yard line pushing his running back into the end zone for the safety!!!! I am jumping up and down celebrating the game tying safety and getting the ball back with plenty of time to get a field goal when I realize that they have the ball back at the 1 yard line with fourth down coming up. WHAT?!?!?!?! I check to see if I can challenge and I do not have the option to do so. The refs do not call for a booth review. So I check the replay over and over and over and over again from many different angles. It is clearly a safety. Yes the tackle was initiated at the one but I cleary pushed his player back (You know that stiff arm animation where your tackle and the ball carrier fight for yards) at least 3 yards into his own end zone. The knee was not even close to being down in the field of play. Still no booth review and no ability to challenge. He punts the ball on fourth down and I am able to get close to field goal range but not quite. It would have been a 62 yard attempt other wise. He plays good defense and I wind up throwing an interception. Yes my mistake but regardless the game should have been tied and I should have the ball on a safety punt. Oh Madden how you drive me crazy!!!!

The game got this correct. You initiated contact within the field of play. It's not where you tackled him but where you began to tackle him.
