You can argue it's a crap rule. I won't even dispute it. But it is the rule and I think pretty clearly they got it right here. I admit my bias, but the ball was full on the ground -- his hands weren't under it or anything -- and he didn't have control so no catch, therefore no TD.

I can understand the saltiness of pro-Steelers / anti-Pats folks though -- that is a pretty tough loss to take.
Are you insane? It doesn't matter what happens when the ball hits to the ground. He has control and it broke the plain. That is a TD. They ****ed up and let the Pat's win Like always Kraft has ponied up the cash for another title.
