Another catch rule controversy?
#1
Just when you think we got the catch rule figured out something new pops up. In the Phi/Chi game currently ongoing, the Bears WR catches the ball while the defender had his right hand between the ball and the WR chest. The WR takes 3 steps being taken down on the third step when the defender dislodges the ball just before the WR hits the ground. The official immediately signals incomplete so no one picks up the ball until the same official eventually does. The booth calls for a review which clearly shows possession and 3 steps which by rule is a catch. After the review they said the play stands because there was no clear recovery. In this case I don't see why the ball wouldn't be spotted at the spot of the fumble and Bears retain possession. I'm sure that is something they discuss during the offseason.
