The Cleveland Browns finally scored a touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens when tight end David Njoku hauled in a low throw from Baker Mayfield in the third quarter of Sunday night’s game. Well, at least we think he caught it.
Nobody really knows.
The different replay angles from the NBC broadcast feed were inconclusive. No matter what was ruled on the field was going to stand, and the officials called it a touchdown as the play unfolded. The ball might have hit the ground, it might have glanced off Njoku’s thigh, it might have done both, but in the end it was indeed a touchdown.
Here’s the catch in question:
David Njoku snags the 20-yard TD!@Browns pull within 3.

Twitter isn’t so sure what it saw…
The replay angle from the back of the end zone, looks like the ball maybe hit Njoku's leg and then the ground. Gonna be interesting.

Would 100% stand if it was *against* the Browns, but…

Clearly going to be an incomplete pass.

That's as conclusive and clear as the lyrics in a growl death metal song

You can’t tell for sure that it hit the ground. So it SHOULD stand.
But @NFLOfficiating blows sooo…
