During the Divisional Round game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, a play in the fourth quarter helped re-ignite the debate about the Josh Dobbs fumble in the Tennessee Titans’ Week 18 loss.
Of course, the Dobbs fumble changed the entire game, as the Jacksonville Jaguars were able to score what was the game-winning touchdown off it, helping eliminate the Titans in the process.
The play in question on Sunday occurred in the fourth quarter, when a fumble was called on a Josh Allen pass that was ultimately ruled an incomplete pass upon review.
Afterwards, Twitter recalled the Dobbs fumble and compared the two, and it’s clear the same ruling should’ve been made in Titans-Jaguars. Thanks to AtoZ Sports Nashville, we have a side-by-side of the two plays.
If Josh Allen’s was “incomplete” should Josh Dobbs’ be a incomplete? #Titans pic.twitter.com/a4FvK9zb7c

As you can see, the two clips are nearly identical, yet Allen’s was called an incomplete pass and Dobbs’ wasn’t. Here’s how Twitter reacted.
Wondering what #Titans QB Josh Dobbs what would you say about THAT call be overturned?

people are confused by the forward pass rule, but it’s actually very simple.
-if your name is Josh Dobbs or another QB with little name recognition it is a fumble.
-if your name is Josh Allen or another QB that’s beloved by the NFL, it’s incomplete.— Sundays in Nashville (@SundaysinNash) January 22, 2023
This is soooo close to the 4th quarter Josh Dobbs play in Week 18. That was ruled a fumble.

The Josh Allen play looked almost identical to the Josh Dobbs one.

This Josh Allen play is almost exactly like the Josh Dobbs play in Titans-Jags game that the refs called a fumble.
But, of course, it gets overturned for Allen and called an incomplete pass.

If Josh Dobbs’ is a fumble (which I thought it was) then that is a fumble.
