Heartbraker in chicago

i was watching nfl redzone 24 seconds left the lions were down by 6 and a pass to calvin johnson was caught but called incomplete i know this was a heartbraker 4 dtigertron and other detroit fans i thought it was caught but the said it was 1 motion it looked like 2 motins 2 me but i cant do anything

Its sad when a catch like that is ruled a non catch.

im a closet lions fan, and I really wanted to see them win that and be in 1st place in the NFC north, but... it wasnt a catch.

Could have been, but it wasnt. Maybe next time he will worry more about getting up WITH THE BALL than running around celebrating.

We've seen crazy catches like that before and usually the guy holds onto that ball and holds it up in the air to prove, beyond any doubt, that it never touched the ground. I knew instantly that they werent gonna give him that TD, I couldnt believe he was going nuts celebrating cause he should have known right away that he blew it.

I disagree, I've listened to so many explanations as to why it wasn't a catch, most of them involved him either not having possession or not having possession after he got up. I think both are wrong. First, if you are holding the ball in one hand like he was (it wasn't against his body) while being half-spun around and dragged to the ground, you definitely have possession. Second, one you take your two steps on a reception in the endzone with the ball its a TD, especially if you hit the ground. The ball didn't come out until AFTER he started to get up.
