Arizona rookie running back Marion Grice scored from one yard out on a play that he was originally ruled to have fumbled on the goal line.
Watch a GIF of the touchdown below:
Upon a closer look, it seems pretty clear that Grice indeed crossed the plane before losing the ball, but it certainly appeared as if Grice made an enormous blunder in real time.
The 1-yard rush capped off a 17-yard drive that was set up by a terrible interception from Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
The Cardinals signed Grice off the San Diego Chargers’ practice squad in September. Grice posted 41 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in 10 games for Arizona this season.
The Chargers drafted Grice in the sixth round of this past year’s draft out of Arizona State.
