From the episode

I don't agree with the Marvin Mims turn like the muff punt call. Oh, yeah, that's true. I don't I don't agree with what happened there where like, yes, his his wrist hit down before his elbow. And if you slow it down, you can tell that maybe that's a fumble. But by the spirit of what was going on there, I think he's down.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Mims muffed punt call disputed; wrist down but arguably down by spirit of rule.

Mims was involved in a controversial muffed punt call in Week 4 against San Francisco. The source disputes the call, noting that while Mims' wrist hit down before his elbow (technically a fumble by the letter of the law), the spirit of the play suggested he was down. The turnover led to a 49ers field position advantage that changed the game's momentum.
