Result, if there was no injury and no BAD CALL, no Seattle touchdown on that possession.

Not jumping into this debate but it was a bad call. Agree, clearly Bowman had possession of the ball as he fell to/lay on the ground. But if my memory serves me right, Seattle did not score on that possession. The Seahawks fumbled on the next play and that was recovered by SF...
