Maybe it would've been different if they had hit him and he fumbled and they were denied the ball because of some rule. As it was, the guy saw himself being surrounded and time was an issue...holding on to the ball was an issue...so he went down.

What was amazing to me was that they actually covered that in the rule book...and according to the book, a player CAN give himself up. That's what he did, there is no doubt in my mind, so they called it properly.
