They gave him 17 yards on the play but they shouldn't have. He started his slide at the 26, which by rule is where the ball should have been spotted. That would have been 15 yards, as instructed.
The ref did place the ball on the 24, but if the 49ers had challenged the spot it would have gone back to the 26.
