Treadwell's OT catch overturned on controversial down-by-contact ruling vs. KC.

In Week 2 overtime against Kansas City, Treadwell caught a deep ball from Daniel Jones, bobbled it on the way down, secured it, and got back up before being punched out by cornerback Nohl Williams. The refs initially ruled it a fumble and game-ending turnover, but upon review overturned the call, ruling Treadwell down by contact before the fumble occurred. The source notes a Chiefs defender had a hand on Treadwell's hip when he hit the ground, establishing down-by-contact status.
