Rule Misinterpretation: According to NFL regulations, any part of the body other than the hands counts as two feet, but Callahan mistakenly believed Ayomanor needed both a foot and elbow down.

Lost Momentum: In a 13–12 game, Tennessee lost a first down due to the non-challenge. Two plays later, they were forced to punt, which gave the Broncos the advantage.
