Lane intercepted the ball in the end zone. He should have downed the ball right then and given his offense possession at the 20 yard line. Did he seriously think he was going to return the ball 100+ yards for a TD? Why be a hero? Instead he runs it out to about the 11 yard line and breaks his arm. Real smart play there.
You make the call - Possession at the 20 and remains in the game, or possession at the 11 with a broken arm? My previous point was it's better to down an interception (assuming you have no running room) than to try and be a hero.
Burnett made the right call. Lane did not. Spin it any way you want.
