Slow the vid down to 4 secs. the ball was already moving out of his hands before anyone was OB

 

The issue is not the fumble - they ruled it a fumble, but Landry is still touching the ball as his shoulder is out of bounds.

 

Therefore by rule an out of bounds player touched the loose ball and the ball is considered out of bounds and the play dead.

 

It is close, but I think it is the correct call.

Anyone have a full video? in none of the above videos does it show Landry touching the ball after the fumble. 

 

This vid is fine - his left shoulder hits barely out of bounds and the ball is still touching Landry’s hand.  The jarring of the ground is what bounces the ball away from Landry’s hand.

 

The NFL and the crew ruled it a fumble as the ball was obviously no longer controlled before Landry made contact with the ground, but the fact that he was still in contact as he hit the out of bounds caused the issue.

 

I think that is also part of what threw Brown off.  I am guessing the Ref on the Bills side said it was a fumble - which they took to mean a recovery and they no longer listened to the explanation.  There were several players beyond Brown that celebrated - although he made the biggest fool of himself.
