With Houston leading by nine on its own 22-yard line, Roughnecks quarterback P.J. Walker took a knee on fourth down to end the game. However, the XFL said Walker's knee clearly touched the field with approximately two seconds remaining, meaning the ball should have been turned over to Seattle.

It wouldn't have made a difference. Seattle was getting killed late in the game on offense. They would have had to score on the play had they gotten the ball ... VERY unlikely ... AND then convert a three point conversion from the ten ... also very unlikely ... just to tie. Their players were ready to clear the field.
