It was an interception and they blew the call. The fix was in and everyone knows the fix got put out the door.
How could anyone even consider letting a high school principal ref a game. The guy should be fined for a p*ss poor job. You sound like a liberal democrat with your "by the rules", statement. It's football and he had clear possession. He caught the ball and then tried to run if you read the rules a bit futher you will see it WAS a catch. He had possession, he then tried to run. Look at it this way. A reciever catches the ball on the ground, then while getting up he fumbles the ball. oops, like i said "he catches the ball. Sounds like a catch to me.

Watch NFL Network on wendsday, The head ref will be on and i guarantee you he is going to say, "the rule states when your going to the ground must maintain possession thoughout the process of the catch, since his knee was on the ground when he dropped it incomplete" when i saw the replay i knew it was incomplete because i heard the explanation last week from the tampa game, same thing.

The tampa reciever caught the ball in the endzone 2 feet down 2 knees down, IN THE END ZONE then when he hit the ground the ball came loose. its the same thing since the steelers players knee was still on the ground.
