While watching the Red Zone channel this morning, they showed a play from the Colts/Browns game where the situation was that the Colts had 4th and goal from the 1 inch line. Peyton tried to QB sneak but the ball was stripped and another Colt recovered and proceeded to score. The referee however waived the score off saying that only the player who fumbled was allowed to advance the ball, so it was 1st down Browns.
Does anyone know this rule? Is that just on 4th down? What is the purpose of it? I have been thinking about this all day and I can not see a reason why this rule exists.
