Replay overturned Ja’Marr Chase’s sensational TD catch and NFL fans couldn’t agree about that call

Was that a catch?

Despite the NFL’s recent efforts to simplify what constitutes a catch, there never seems to be a consensus on what actually is a catch. Ja’Marr Chase was the latest player to fall victim to the ever-changing, inconsistent application of that rule.

During Sunday’s AFC divisional round matchup between the Bengals and Bills, it appeared that Chase made a phenomenal touchdown catch at the back of the end zone through all the snow at Highmark Stadium.

While Chase did get both feet in bounds, the ball did appear to be moving through the final process of “completing the catch.” The play was reviewed, and the refs overturned the catch, calling it incomplete. The Bengals settled for a field goal.

Now, it really did look like the ball was moving. But did Chase secure possession long enough for it to be a touchdown? It’s tough to say. The call on the field being touchdown probably should have been enough to have the play stand (even if it looked incomplete).

Still, fans could not agree at all about the overturn.
