Synopsis

Air carrier flight crew reported loss of aircraft control during landing rollout.

Narrative

ILS XR at ZZZ; winds on ATIS were reported 190/10. Actual winds experienced at touchdown were 12-13 Kts quartering tailwind. Approach to touchdown was normal. After touchdown; I noticed a swerve to the right of centerline and a wing rock. I observed LCP (Line Check Pilot) (Pilot Monitoring) call for a correction and began guarding the controls. As we corrected back to centerline FO in the 3rd seat announced that the auto brakes were off. From my seat; I could not see if the reversers were normal or not. We went to the end of the runway and turned off. As we cleared the runway; we got a brake temp light. The Pilot Flying stopped the aircraft on the taxiway and did not set the parking brake. Pilot Monitoring ran the Brake Temp Checklist and I looked up the brake cooling schedule in the QRH. We observed temps as high as 9.9 on the left side gear. We called for fire trucks to come out for hot brakes and called Maintenance. We then observed tire pressure message and noticed that several tires were indicating low pressure. Maintenance arrived and confirmed that we'd blown 6 tires and we were informed that they would need to change the tires on the taxiway and tow us in. The Pilot Flying had announced out loud as he was trying to correct to centerline and level the wings; that the aircraft didn't seem to be responding normally to his inputs. After the situation was over; he said that he thought that either the auto brakes were not engaging evenly or that he had possibly not gotten reverse on all 4 engines. The Pilot Monitoring was too busy trying to correct for centerline and make sure we got stopped on the runway to call out reversers normal; and I couldn't see the indication from my seat.

Second reporter narrative

Normal landing. During roll out I apparently bumped 1 thrust lever forward as I was correcting wings level. I believe speed brakes then stowed and I was adjusting aircraft for the asymmetrical thrust. A lot of things happened very quickly. So; I am not sure exactly what happened.
