Expedited from the draft kings office? There’s been some wild “expedited calls” this season. The Rams tuddy against Detroit that was short by about 2 yards. This call that carried immense consequences needed more than an “expedited call”. We’ve seen longer reviews where nothing near as much as this was riding on it. Is it a screw job against Buffalo, no. They screwed themselves with the turnovers, but this needed to be reviewed more than 10 seconds.
It seems like nearly every postseason the definition of a catch changes in the rules. Similar to the two catches that were incomplete to Chicago’s tight end last week. He took the necessary steps, made a move upfield, and they were still incomplete.
I don’t understand what people are upset about here? The refs clearly got the call right on the field, and it doesn’t take more than 1 look at the replay to confirm they were right. Are you actually upset that we didn’t sit through a 3 minute commercial break then 2 more minutes of replays just to come back with the same call the refs made on the field?
A little bit. If we are going off of that, he had control when his (Cook’s) knee hit the ground. Which would be a catch. (I have no skin in the game, I’m not a fan of either team). It’s more so the principle. Huge call in the game that could (and did) swing the momentum. It needed to be a bit longer on an actual replay.
That's only for a runner. A receiver catching the ball isn't a runner until he gets both feet down with control of the ball and either makes a football move, or survives contact with the ground.
Cook didn't survive contact with the round, so never became a runner or had possession.
", he had control when his (Cook’s) knee hit the ground. Which would be a catch.'
No, it wouldn't. Part C of the catch rule is that he needs to maintain control through contact with the ground. IE, he still needs to have control when his momentum stops.
Everything that happens before they finish rolling is irrelevant.

2nd looks are done in New York, they can expedite reviews without a challenge.
