As I said during the game, it's easy for me to say, but you have to hang onto the ball there...unless you are knocked unconscious you can't let go of the ball until the play ends! I have seen numerous players, with very serious injuries hang onto the ball until the play was over, that was a very crucial play in the game....possibly a game changer!

Watching it again, the way he took a knee isn't too dissimilar to the way Lewis fell.
