Gesicki Touchdown - NFL Apology

[KillerGoose]

I don't know what they are specifically apologizing for, but that was in no way a touchdown. The receiver has to survive the catch and a specific body part such as a knee, elbow or otherwise touching does not negate this fact. Here is the link to the NFL rulebook. Here is the excerpt that very explicitly and clearly outlines this...

Quote:If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied ©, contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds

Here is the loss of control...



And here is the ball touching the ground....



This a very clear incomplete pass.
