    Agree. And it resulted in a stunning/exciting game.

    At some point somebody in the NFL is going to have to address these ridiculous "what constitutes a catch?" criteria. Which have been frustrating fans and teams alike.

    I've watched the replays of both supposedly controversial TD catches. Both were good catches. The refs made the right call on both.

    Collinsworth's comments during the game on the Ertz TD were incredibly stupid. I don't know what he thought he was seeing.

    Goodell has said they are going to rework it this offseason.

    A catch should occur the instant control over the ball is achieved, no matter how short in duration that control is. If that means there are more fumbles and interceptions, then so be it. That will make the game more exciting and people won't have to sit around forever wondering about the "process" of a catch.

    Yea, because they tried to stay out of it as much as possible and they used their common sense.
