“It’s absolutely a catch, Mike. He gets control, two feet down and then takes an additional step which completes the catch. This is a touchdown.”
That was NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay on Oct. 27, during a Week 8 game between the Packers and the Steelers. He was talking about a catch by Roman Wilson on which the Steelers’ wide receiver elevated in the back of the end zone, secured the ball, planted his left and then right foot, and then started to scuttle backward before Carrington Valentine swiped his arm and knocked the football loose.
