The San Francisco 49ers were left frustrated after a crucial missed call by NFL referees during their game against the Seattle Seahawks. A replay review failed to overturn a fumble that clearly showed Seahawks returner Dee Williams touching the ball, which would have given the 49ers possession.
Despite the 49ers' challenge and evidence from the broadcast, the call stood, leading to significant field position loss. NFL officiating executive Walt Anderson later acknowledged that the league overlooked key replays, indicating a possible error in judgment.
