In Likely's case, he took a hand off the ball to stiff-arm a Dallas defender while a second defender came up to punch the ball out from behind. Likely caught the ball on a quick stick route over the middle, and he was attempting to pick up yards after the catch.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Likely's fumble stemmed from trying to do too much on YAC attempt.

Likely fumbled on a quick stick route over the middle while attempting to stiff-arm a Dallas defender and pick up yards after the catch; a second defender punched the ball out from behind. His fumble was self-inflicted due to trying to do too much rather than securing the ball. The lesson is to avoid compromising ball security to pick up extra yardage, as the Giants won't be as fortunate with turnover recovery next time.
