He had a facemask to facemask hit at one point. The one grounding call that I didn't like was when he was technically right on the border of being just outside the tackle box and he was fixing to take the sack. 

However, I could have sworn Manhertz was in the area and that's where he may have been trying to go with the football. I think Manhertz was just a little late getting off from his release. Was pretty ticky tacky for sure. 

I also don't think Etienne fumbled that football. Patterson probably makes that field goal there in the first half had it not been kept ruling wise after the review. Always a bummer when the commentators and the officiating guy in New York agree it's not a good call and the stripes say it stands anyway.

The fumble was clearly the incorrect call looking at the replay. It's why the refs shouldn't even be involved in the review calls, just have New York buzz them and tell them they're reviewing it and then what the correct call is and move on. Ref feelings don't need to be coddled, sometimes people get things wrong on first view.
