Last year that would have been a completion, but under the new rules the call was correct ... acknowledged to his credit by Jason Garrett.

But even though I was rooting for GB, I felt bad for Dez Bryant as that was one helluva reception.

Hopefully the owners will reconsider what constitutes a completed catch ... as they did in MLB when the "transfer rule" was quickly withdrawn.

Last year that was an incompletion. 5 years ago when Calvin Johnson ran afoul of the rule it was an incompletion. That rule has been in place a long time. Paul Maguire used to complain about it back when SNF was on ESPN.

That wouldn’t have been a completion for decades...if ever.

The new rule means that if he’d held onto the ball when he and it hit the ground, it would have been a catch.
