To: a little elbow grease

I did a little more research. It was the “going to ground” rule in this case. If he had pulled the ball in, and not reached, he would not have invalidated the catch by having the ball hit the ground and move. Almost need to be a lawyer to figure the rules out. However, the refs have been quite consistent with this one.

The refs have been very consistent on this call.

Ask Dez Bryant, or Megatron. Many others as well.

It's a horrible rule, makes an inconsistency happen, but it's the rule.

Great catches are made null and void through a bad rule, but the refs decision was correct about interpreting that rule last night.

Terrible rule, but it was the rule that did it.

Ben, not the refs, was the one who screwed the pooch on the next play. Steelers had every opportunity to win, or send the game to overtime.
