The standard for reversal of a call on the field is undisputed evidence showing it was wrong. No way.

Shame that a game comes down to that.
Properly called, terrible rule.

Catch rule should just go back to 2 feet, or one elbow, or one knee, or butt down= catch.. that would eliminate all this garbage and leave little, no room for this interpretation and 2nd guessing.
