Tyreek Hill’s muffed punt in the rain was the first excitingly stupid play of the 2018 Pro Bowl

Budda Baker took advantage of the rainy weather and a Tyreek Hill muff to score his first ever Pro Bowl touchdown. Then the referees took it away.

A torrential downpour has slowed the action in Orlando, saturating the field and making everything a bit more slippery at the NFL’s All-Star Game. Hill found this out first hand after trying to corral a second-quarter punt from the NFC team. The ball squirted from his fingertips and went flying toward his own goal line once punt coverage descended on him. That’s when Baker came in to scoop the ball from the turf and run it back 21 yards into the end zone.

But the touchdown wouldn’t stand. Officials ruled that while the ball was touched by Hill, it could not be advanced once recovered since Hill had never actually possessed it. That’s the difference between a fumble and a muff. That meant it was NFC ball at the AFC 21-yard line — right where Baker had picked up Hill’s mistake.

What this means for the NFC: The refs’ decision effectively stripped the NFC of four points. Baker’s negated return gave way for a three-and-out possession for Russell Wilson and the offense, but Graham Gano’s 43-yard field goal ensured the conference wouldn’t go away scoreless. Early in the second quarter, the NFC held a 10-3 advantage over its AFC rivals.
