The hell? He shouldn't lose the timeout as his challenge was the spot and not the first down.
 
Just looked it up--turns out that the language is that the only thing that can be challenged is:
 
 
2. The position of the ball with respect to a first down. 
 
If that's the case, the refs got it right*--it's every single announcer ever that calls it wrong.
 
 
*Unless you think they still got the spot wrong. ;)

Sorry for the late response but why wasn't that 3rd down Wilson run reversed? The spot wasn't right as far as what I saw. Just seemed odd.

Wilson is going to have to complete a pass every possession.

Technically correct, realistically stupid. And then don't even measure?? Ummm ya, it looks short on this camera view from 30 yards away, cool.

Those are the third downs they haven't been converting the last five weeks.
 
If Russell is going to complete those passes, it will be a long day for Denver.

If there was an NFL Rules subforum, that would be its tagline.

Maybe if you have a Brady-esque QB but Wilson isnt that and you need to keep hammering it inside like they have all season
