The San Francisco 49ers secured a 36-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, improving their record to 3-3. However, controversy arose during the game regarding a pivotal call in the fourth quarter. A punt by 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky appeared to touch Seahawks returner Dee Williams, leading to a recovery by Jalen Graham.
Despite a challenge from head coach Kyle Shanahan, the officials upheld the original ruling that the ball was downed, not a fumble. Analysis revealed that the NFL's command center did not receive the enhanced video footage that showed the ball touching Williams, leading to a questionable decision.
This incident raises concerns about the quality of video access for NFL officiating, highlighting the need for better coordination between game-day operations and the command center to ensure accurate calls in the future.
