Kellen Moore, the New Orleans Saints HC, raised concerns about Juwan Johnson’s fumble when Christian Elliss tackled him in the 4th quarter at 8:46 using the peanut punch technique. According to Moore, the tackle is controversial.

As per a report by Jeff Duncan, “On the officials’ controversial replay overturn of the Juwan Johnson fumble, Saints coach Kellen Moore said, ‘We were told there was some movement on the ball, and that’s all I get.”

The statement is a response by him to the replay of the tackle. It is understandable why this could be viewed as controversial, because punching when in possession is illegal, but the peanut punch technique is a popular defensive technique.

John Hendrix posted on X about Spencer Rattler, who had said after a loss to the New England Patriots, 25-19., “Could have been a little better on 3rd Down. Could have finished in the red zone a little more. It didn’t feel like we played poorly a few plays away.”
