Because he recovered a football he was touched the play should have been over
He gave himself up as a player.... When a player has control over a fumble the play is over.... So let me ask this when a player's in a pile and has recovered a fumble the whistle hasn't been blown He gets up and he's standing there can a player come over and just hit the ball out of his hands and run it in for a touchdown no he has control He has the ball... The whistle is never been blown at that point... If you watch when there's a fumble  and pile up there's no whistle being blown They wait to see who has the ball at the bottom of the pile right? If that player gets out of that pile and another player comes over and knocks the ball out and runs it in for a touchdown it doesn't happen because he has control and the play is over regardless of the whistle

He was standing. Being touched while standing does not make one “down” by contact
