Because the ruling on the field was a fumble, and the whistle came before the recovery, the play is dead because of the inadvertent whistle and the Saints should have retained possession of the ball.  New Orleans would then have had the choice to put the ball in play at the spot where possession was lost or to replay the down.  Inadvertent whistles are not reviewable.”</blockquote>
