NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -A few months late, Tennessee fullback Ahmard Hall says referee Ed Hochuli (HAH’-kyoo-lee) apologized to him for the holding call on Jan. 3 at Seattle that wiped out a 62-yard gain by Chris Johnson.
The running back still became only the sixth man in NFL history to reach 2,000 yards, finishing with 2,006. But that 62-yard run in the fourth quarter would have put the All Pro close enough the Titans would have kept handing him the ball to chase Eric Dickerson’s NFL rushing record of 2,105 yards.
Hall said Monday that Hochuli apologized to both himself, Johnson and the entire team during the referee’s four days spent working the Titans’ training camp between Aug. 4 and 7. The fullback first told The Tennessean about the apology while in Seattle for the Titans’ preseason opener.
