Under today's rule the replay would have allowed them to look at it and determine if it was a fumble and clear recovery.

But at the time, replay was not used for judgment calls like down by contact. Because the ref ruled Doug down by contact on the slip they couldn't go back and review it on replay.

But yeah you're right, they lucked out because the ref missed that the ball came out before he was touched down by contact. Definitely lucked out.

But with a final score of 42-10 I feel confident in saying we would have smacked that ass anyway. HTTR
