Higgins toe tap from other angle - THE PISTONS - 09-25-2022
You've probably seen this catch by Tee Higgins, but I wanted to post one that showed the other angle also.

As for the rule, it's weird that you never see rubber come up from his heels and only his toes. I'm not sold that the heels actually touched down. pic.twitter.com/T9zUZPind2

The crew stationed in New York was not on our side today.... lots of calls that IMO should of went our way.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - THE PISTONS - 09-25-2022
His heel pretty clearly was out on the 2nd angle.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - Frank Booth - 09-25-2022
you have a conglomerate of posters here who will tell you the refs got this absolutely right
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - Rubekahn29 - 09-25-2022
I don’t know who our crew was last year, but it was against the Jets we got the infamous lowering of the head by Mike Hilton penalty that was absolutely atrocious call, and sealed the game for the Jets.

hey, refs got it right. good call there

I’m glad we still scored, but that was ridiculous hops from Tee.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - THE PISTONS - 09-25-2022
A lot of replays is how it's initially called as they need evidence e to overturn it.

It’s such a weird rule that it’s a catch if you’re falling forward and only get your toes in.
Tee and Chase have had 2 of the nicest non-TD’s you will see all season.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - SouthernFan - 09-25-2022
The thing is Zack had to challenge to get the review. The play should have been called a td on the field and then gone to automatic review. Could have been insufficient evidence to overturn. Instead Bengals lose a time out.

Why would they call it a TD if they thought his heel hit out of bounds? That's not how reffing works.

Agreed. The rule makes no sense but it has been that way for years and years.

He looks out. Looks like the left foot touched just oob and i thought i saw some white come up from his right cleats.
Absolutely insane that he came that close though.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - Johnny Cupcakes - 09-25-2022
I think it’s close, but you’re full of shit if you say that his heels definitely didn’t touch. You just can’t tell. People are looking at this one through orange tinted glasses, thus the complaining.
If the refs would have initially called it a TD, it would have stayed that way. Unfortunately, it went the other way.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - NUGDUKWE - 09-26-2022
Yeah definitely a weird rule that doesn't make a lot of sense. The only play that I think was bad was the chase fumble that should've been called incomplete.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - BFritz21 - 09-26-2022
I don't get it because, if a receiver is outstretched on the sideline, he only needs his toes to drag in.
I guess it makes sense if you look at it from he has to establish control while inbounds, but then the sideline example or if he's going out of the back of the endzone and catching a ball from overhead.

Remember he was going to go into basketball but his coach/mom told him "imagine what you could do in football with your height".
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - TKUHL - 09-26-2022
It still was a beautiful catch. The Chase catch/fumble is the one that hit me. If you look at the Mixon fumble/incomplete just before half it was exactly like the Chase catch yet it was ruled incomplete. Who knows anymore.
RE: Higgins toe tap from other angle - TKUHL - 09-26-2022
As for this play, I thought if you have possession as soon as the other toe taps down it’s a TD. What’s the difference between that play and running towards the sideline in the endzone getting both toes down before immediately going out.
