Ball hit the ground when he unnecessarily stetched for endzone. Not fan of either team

I thought ball crosses plane it's a td. Also if anything why would it not be a catch. If he had gotten hit it would have been called a fumble, if the ball came out. NFL doing what it always does. NFLCU

I think the refs said it was not a catch.

Ben threw an INT 2 plays later.

That's a catch...should've been down at the 1...

It's not a catch according to NFL rulebook.

If the dumb ass player didn't try to reach the end zone and completed the catch first then you're right but the rulebook says different.

The rule book your referring to is for a runner that is running after completing the catch.

Technically the dumb ass player never caught the ball cause it bobbled and hit the ground

Nope not a catch. He dropped it at the end and there was no contact. Had he been touched 1st before he went down there would have been a better argument for TD. The rules state that is not a TD.

Terrible rule it should have been a TD he crossed the plane he's a runner at that point

If the ball crosses the white it's a td.

I don't care about the rule book....OP asked if it was a catch and it is....I already know why that rule has been in place...tough L for the Steelers.......

FROM NOW ON WHEN A WR CATCHES THE BALL IN THE ENDZONE DBS NEED TO JUST SMACK IT OUT RIGHT AFTER.

DOESN'T MATTER IF HE CATCHES IT. JUST SMACK IT OUT.

WE NOW KNOW WHAT A TD IS
