I’m a Viking fan so I detested both teams playing in Green Bay today. I don’t have a dog in this fight but I do have an observation.

Last weekend, Terrell Suggs of the Ravens made an interception between his knees while rolling on the ground with the ball clearly not under control before it went into his hands. How is that a legal catch while Bryant’s wasn’t?

I saw a receiver who caught the ball with two feet down who hit the ground with the ball popping loose. For me that’s at the very least a catch, at the most it’s a catch with a fumble and recovery for a touchdown and in the middle it’s a catch when he controlled the ball in the end zone. The one thing it’s most certainly not is an imcompletion.

But as they say ... only in Green Bay.

But this is the whole point of the "Calvin Johnson Rule": after the catch, when falling to the ground, the ground cannot cause a fumble. It can only cause an incompletion.
