Could be...but the video clearly shows that the player got out of bounds. It should have stopped the clock.

If a defender forces the runner out of bounds the clock does not stop. #82 was forced out by Neal #42. This is the rule. Danielson even explains it in the broadcast.
Except, in the video, you can see that the TE drags the defender out of bounds...the defender didn't force him out of bounds. He struggles to take 2 steps towards the sideline after the defender is on him. So, while that is the rule, it would not have been applicable in this case.

I guess we just need to agree to disagree. I see him hitting #82 and forcing him out. #82 doesn't drag him. Not that he's the arbiter of all things but Danielson agreed and the refs agreed that it was a force out. Seems clear to me watching it in replay several times, too.
As to your other post, agreed. They blew calls for both teams all day. The replay official was garbage, too.
