Brady on last 4 plays: "Alright guys just run around, Im gonna throw it to Gronk every play"
Chase Canali Pretty much happend at reeces at elementary school
Also Brady let’s pay the refs
@M Go away. No one cares about soccer
@@papiK0NG also King Guzman: Salty About A Regular Season Game
This was the year the AB Bell Ben Trio had its best chance
I loved the 2017 Steelers. So entertaining
Yep
Remember Tomlin said they’d play twice well they got what they deserved Jacksonville punked them.
@M cool no one asked
@M if soccer is so popular then why do you need to advertise
One of the most important and underrated games of all time with one of the best offenses of all time
Well are offense ain’t really it this year
Neither offense was all time great that year. No where close, in fact.
Matthew Dowling Brady won MVP this year. The pats O this year was elite
Welp I hate to tell you but Brady is on the bucs
And you fuckers still lost ahahahaha
Coming back to this game still grinds my gears
Steelers: Hey can I copy your homework?
Seahawks: Sure just change a few things so it's not obvious.
😂dame man nice one😂😂
It’s only 5:42 am and that made my day
Made my day!
W
I didn't know what it was but then I remembered that the Seahawks did a bad pass so LMAO 😂
Crazy to think that this game ended up being a deciding factor to who had home-field, eventually leading to who got to play the Titans, and who had to face the Jags. Had this game ended differently, maybe we would be hearing about the heavyweight match-up this weekend of New England traveling to Pittsburgh for the AFC championship. Every game matters.
the steelers couldnt beat the jags the patriots could plain and simple
Greg Christopher Jesse James caught it
Robert Henneberger they lost by 3. They easily could have won against them. They just played down to the competition like they always seem to do when it matters
Robert Henneberger Ya
Wexfordbuccos _ they played like trash despite what the score says. Still lost no matter what
I’ll never get over this game
I rewatch this game every now and again, it felt like the Superbowl! And gronks celebration on the 2 point makes me laugh everytime 😂
Is that like a robot celebration?
I had a heart attack 5 separate times during this game.
real talk me too. and i had to take a nap after game because it was so crazy lol

Was anyone else just screaming at their screen during the last 5 minutes?
UnPhayzable
No I contemplating whether I should put a gun in my mouth..........(Texans fan 😩🔫)
As a pats fan yes
UnPhayzable Hell yea that game was lit
Tony Davidson they hate us cuz they ain’t us. And the pats still won, Pittsburgh fans need to cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. Their kryptonite has won over them for the millionth time.
I was cause I want New England to win cause the Steelers beat us Ima ravens fan
Brady: I'm throwing to Gronk!
Steelers fans: He's throwing to Gronk!
Steelers defense: *Wonder where Brady will throw???*
Edit:
Me: Most likes EVERRRRR!
Also me: *s t a r t s p o d c a s t* 😜😜
Pamela P i am a pats fan
Sometimes i can tell if gronk is gonna get the ball
Aarav Raina I'm a steelers fan. We all know gronk is getting the ball lmao
Steelers defense: He's throwing to Gronk!
(Brady completes pass to Gronk.)
jpdemer5 W
8:43 definitely said it all
Who is coming back because the Steelers and patriots play this week?
Tik Toxic Me, who you got & why ?
Q MANN well I’m a Steelers fans so it’ll probably sound biased but they own us and the Steelers are backed against the wall like in week 3 which they won on national television so don’t be surprised if the Steelers win for once.
Me
Me
Im here cause i want revenge againts the pats lol
That call hits close to home for Romo.
True that dez caught it but all we can do is move forward but refs these days are just not callin plays right
george orta no the refs are calling it correctly it is the rule that is messed up
lol it hit home for me im a cowboys fan, but its a stupid rule
Sam Federman That hit home for all Cowboys fans. I felt the exact same way when they ruled that catch by Dez incomplete. It should have been 1st and goal just like tonight. But until they change that rule, catches like these will always be ruled incomplete.
DRock6906 I said that because Romo was broadcasting the game.
As I am looking in the comments section as a steeler fan, no one is commenting that the Steelers made a ton of mistakes.
1. We didn't double cover gronk
2. Ben shouldn't have thrown that ball
3. Plain bad coaching. U don't fake a snap and expect the patriot' s defense to be confused. As a steeler fan, this wasn't a steal. I thought we had this won in the 4th quarter. Mistakes come and go, but crucial mistakes stay forever. Good game Pats. Hope to see u in playoffs. This is the best game we've played all year. Keep your head up steeler fans.
Keith 1122 Wow...a fan with some common sense. Amazing.
Keith 1122 Right, so don't acknowledge the fact that they followed every rule and won the game fairly and were robbed, and instead focus on what ifs
You’re a fan of the game but you just like steeler a little more than the other team. When Smith-Schuster turned that catch to a huge gain, i thought that was the dagger.
sigh... you can't double cover gronk when playing man to man, also, he needed to throw. The pats couldn't stop the pass all game and coaching was great. It just came down to Brown getting hurt and an unfortunate circumstance at the end. This is coming from a pats fan too
@@tajiri7 according to the nfl rules when this game was played it was the correct call,,, you may not agree to the rules but as a nfl player getting paid millions of dollars to play this game you better know the rules,,,, cry all you want it was the correct call
Gronk was the best player in the NFL at this exact moment. Unstoppable. That final patriots drive was insane
anyone who thinks kelce is better is delusional
@@jackdriscoll8387 fax
@@jackdriscoll8387 nope Kelce bettter
@@jordanrules6643 I love kelce way more than gronk and they are prolly top 2 all time but gronk was just a man amongst boys
@@Allendiggs1714 same can be said for Kelce
Kelce better
Possibly one of the greatest games from the 2010’ decade
Steelers fan got their heart ripped from their chest tonight! Brady and Gronk that duo flows with clutchness!
Greg Santana *Brady and the refs*
If they would have stopped gronk they wouldn't have needed that Jesse James non touchdown.
Sam Babushko major salt lmfao learn the rules bud
Dirty Dan Sure
Sam Babushko Don't forget the main ingredients, Steelers with a cup of SALT.
LOVE Gronk pointing and laughing on that 2 point play
K C Haha. I lost it when he did that 😂
That was dangerously close to taunting lol I'm glad he did not draw a penalty.
Martavis Bryant truly was a talented player. Miss that dude.
Still grinds my gears how Jessie James TD was called incomplete 😂😂😂 Full possession of the ball
Nope. Gotta survive the ground. That was the rule at this time. You have to get two steps and make a 3rd step or move. Not understanding the rules is not a reason to blame the refs. Bad rule, sure. Bad call, no.
@@Noah.Nation But his knee was down. Doesn't that rule him down already? Didn't bobble either.
@@Pandyzandy Ok. I'm going to explain this as simply and clearly as I can.
When a receiver, like Jesse James in this case, jumps to catch the ball, he must keep hold of it until he has fully landed back on the ground. This means that even if his knee touches the ground first, he must still maintain control of the ball through the entire process of falling. In this play, James lost control of the ball while he was still in the process of landing - his knee had hit the ground, but the rest of his body was not yet settled. The ball touched the ground before he could regain control, which he ultimately didn't, resulting in an incomplete pass according to the rules.
People can say it's a bad rule, but it's definitely not a bad call. It was the correct call according to the rules at the time.
@@Noah.Nationhave they changed the rule?
To all the Pats fans out there reading this:
I was salty about it at first, but you guys played one hell of a game. I always look forward to playing you guys, and I’m sure we’ll be meeting you later in the playoffs. One thing I know for sure is though, you can never count out Tom. You guys continue to show dominance week in and week out. Hats off to you guys. Great game.
Twiist Classy Thank u for actually not hating on us and just thank u for the comment in general
Twiist Classy A respectful and well thought out comment. I will be perfectly honest that I hate how the rule is, (I believe if you have 2 feet or a knee down and control anything after that process shouldn't determine catch or not) but the rule is the rule and they've been calling it for awhile. Great game though, you played hard even without AB and almost came up with the win. I hope for a rematch in the championship game so we can resolve this issue.
Twiist Classy This post doesn’t enough salt and anger
There goes our season.... Again, thx NFL
You shoulda gotten into the endzone :/
blame jesse james for being a butterfingers lol, he didnt need to reach like that
nick mccombie butterfingers? He caught the ball
Clearly he didn’t
Clearly he didn't catch it
steelers blew a 24-16 lead with 3 minutes left
Its only a one score lead. Anything could happen there.
@@caleb4851 that’s two scores
@Jacob R Sykes (2023) one score my guy
Damn shame PIT couldn't win a chip wit Ben, Bell, Brown, Juju and Martavis.
And conner
There defense sucked ass. They didnt deserve a chip
I know right... Best offense we ever had....
@@breiter4697 the steelers defense was good.
After shazier got injured it hurt
Love my Pats, but god damn that run by Smith-Schuster was legendary
sarahcloe *lucky the run was lucky gotta hate auto correct huh
FREDLEGENDTHEGODICE Speaking of autocorrect it looks like you misspelled skill
that was a fixed game and that was a TD must be nice to pay the refs off.
Chris skill?? the defense choked on that play
sarahcloe patriots are the best💯🤙
Game of the year so far
bryce arnold nah texans vs pats in week 3
bryce arnold eagles and rams
Even when you beat the Patriots you still somehow come out with a loss...
Unforgettable night I was at the stadium and it was a hell of a game, both teams played their best
I was with my mom who’s a pats fan unfortunately, the stadium was so loud
You can call the rule stupid, but it was called correctly he bobbled the ball once he hit the ground, his left hand was completely off it. Learn the damn rules
"A player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete"
AlisaBosconovich He reached for the TD. Which means possession.
AlisaBosconovich should've been a fumble
AlisaBosconovich obvious he had enough possession to break the plane tho right?
"If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete"
He was down with control when his knee touched the ground but after reached for the endzone thus losing the ball, which by then should have been ruled a fumble.
Game of the year
That 2 minute drill with Gronk still has me in tears as a steeler fan
UrinatingTree is gonna have fun with this one.
Steelers doing their best impression of the XLIX Super Bowl Seahawks
Brendan McCormick kearse catch =juju. Wilson = roethlisberger. Brady also lead them down to a game winning drive
XD
Brendan McCormick this is sad but funny at the same time
Massive W
Exactly lol
I think Pittsburgh has a legit beef.The James catch was 6 points, he did catch the ball and broke the plane of the end zone.
Tru metalhead on Maui ey didn’t maintain control when it hit the ground incomplete pass
Tru metalhead on Maui ey dumb ass all he had to do was come down with possession he did that.. well 95%. When he came down and the ball came loose it was incomplete
FeaR it's a complete bs rule and if you can't admit that the patriots didn't deserve that game then that says more about you than it does the rules
The salt is real.. have fun losing afc championship in New England again 😂
4:43 same exact throw to Gronk that won SB 53
Good catch
Same coverage, too. 3 defenders nearby.
The most remarkable thing to me in this game is McCourtey's never-say-die moment on the Smith-Schuster catch. 9:34 Devin is out of bounds at the
It was declared incomplete cause it was a catch play. If he ran it in there then let the ball go it would’ve been a touchdown. But because it was a catch you have to maintain possession all the way through .
Amazing how many whiny Steelers fans just won't accept that.
Julie He was already over the goaline before that happened. It bobbled but he maintained posession.
bobbled no hit the ground and his left hand was totally off the ball easy call .
Goal line doesnt matter, goalline matters when you are a runner and have already caught the ball. If you are going to the ground with a catch and it bobbles at all, they treat as an incomplete pass, meaning you NEVER had control of the ball. It is a bit of a weird rule, but to be fair, there are many instances where that rule makes complete sense. Its a situation to situation thing.
PATRIOTS 3-2 there is no way to change the velocity and direction of the caught pass to outstretch it across the goal line unless you are in total control of the ball. believe what you want. nfl is the wwe. that pause in the review allowed pats to get refreshed and essentially have an extended time out.
Are we gonna ignore the fact that Tony Romo called the play exactly what it turns out on that "supposed TD" play for the Steelers? That man's a beast in the broadcast booth
This didn’t age well
They've had 2 classics in Pittsburgh the last 2 yrs
Now in just 9 days they meet to open the Patriots season
As its 6x champs vs 6x champs
Jakob Corona and the patriots win in a blowout
@@stormwater8986 it was 😂 33-3
Idiot lol
I was at this game; it was an emotional rollercoaster. When juju made that run I never screamed so loud in my life. 😂
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the Jaguars are 10-4 and have already clinched a Playoff Berth.
Addster JagsToRiches
They wont last long
Jags D will win a game at home. Plus, they match up well against the Steelers. However, the playoffs are unpredictable.
Addster W
No one is distracted. People just dont care. Some are even JUST finding out florida had a 3rd nfl team
It was the correct call, it’s in the rule book. Whether you disagree with the rule or not it doesn’t matter. Learn the rules kids.
he made the catch !! I swear the patriots organization are full of cheaters
Shut up and read rules before you cry bout them "cheating"
shut up u punk ass cheatriots fan !! Your sell out ass team has been cheating for years and im sick of it
Chozen tv.Productions man you must have a sad life young one
oh shut the hell up I know that your happy that your cheating ass team took the W with the help from the refs as always hahaaa I cant wait until someone expose your bum ass team
Looking back at this game 2 years later as a Steelers fan and to be honest with you the saddest part about it was Martavis Bryant ruining his career. Just don’t see guys that big who can move like that very often... had the intangibles to be a great one
Watched this because I’m a huge Gronk fan and he was unstoppable in the second half of this game. Cheers to retirement legend. The game and Pats Nation will miss you.❤️💙
One of my favorite Gronk games of all time!! You could tell he was jack'd after that 2 point conversion play! I loose it every time when he laughs at Sean Davis!
Even if the ending was controversial, can we all agree that it was a great game from both teams?
A- Rom not as good when a team gets cheated
A- Rom such a shame to see a team lose on that call
Nyle Winston cheated? Check the rule book.. right call.. dumb rule or not
A- Rom yeah it was
A- Rom yes it was a great game
Latest Edition of "WHAT IS A CATCH IN THE NFL?!" Part 5,367.
Pretty sure by all points, he caught it and dropped it going to the ground. It's clear.
The commentators reactions to the catch tell the story.
Well, here we are one year later.....
Why is nobody mentioning the fact that the Steelers could have just kicked a field goal to tie it? But that's none of my business
Connor Geezil too much money at risk for Vegas to lose . Remember , the house always win
Agree. Someone should have said through the headset, "Ben if the throw isn't there then toss it out of bounds and we'll play for OT." I just don't think anyone did that *ahem Mike tomlin*
i agree
You think we would survive OT with New England 😂
kevin wilson Vegas sports conspiracy theorists are the dumbest people on the face of the planet, and there's always one in the comment section.
Big Ben throwing instead of spiking the ball is worse then seattle's Super Bowl pass
Gio Fio09 I don’t think that Super Bowl play can be topped
Gio Fio09 it wasn't his idea go look it up
Money Meng LOL and who do you go for? Ben spreads it all over the field
Zachy Washington I know but he should have thrown it out of the back of the end zone
He throw the ball because it's make steelers a bigger chancw to win. If they can catch it, they win. If not, they still have a few second to kick and went tie the game.
Even bill belicheck was confused about the Jesse James play
You guys do realize that the play happened on FIRST AND GOAL, The Steelers had chances to win after that. But they panicked and underestimated the preparation of the Patriots.
Villain Number1 thanks
Other 3 downs wouldn’t matter if they scored on First and goal
@@hose7796 Then the Pats have 30 seconds and 2 timeouts with Pittsburgh running the "don't cover Gronk and hope for the best" defense.
@@jcarson3721 it’s not that easy to cover front we where covering him
@@jcarson3721 it’s just that Tom Brady pays the refs on the sidelines so they win
Why did they force the pass when they could've just tied it
Yoboiii PICKLE and give up a chance to win?
Yoboiii PICKLE I know🤦🏼♂️ the throw was horrible, idk why e threw it in there
Yoboiii PICKLE steelers are known for making high risk high reward plays, this was just one that didn't end well it happens
Because if the Pats got the ball first in OT it would have been over
Yoboiii PICKLE no timeouts
Note to the NFL: stop throwing the ball at the 1 yard line against the pats
William Kim lol u right
Bubble Buddy so throw a slant route in the middle of the field with one guy running a route into seven defenders better chance of the browns winning a super bowl than that ever working terrible call by Big Ben he blames the coaches but I think he screwed it up how could the coaches call for a spike yet the only guy who knew Ben was faking it was Eli Rogers of all people he told Rogers what he was gonna so is my only conclusion from that Ben tried to beat Brady just like everyone else and played himself
William Kim first of all it wasn't the 1 one yard line
William Kim it was the ten yard line but I know what you mean
the fake spike was just a terrible play call.. they had one Wr going on a slant?? who can't cover that.
This game right here was a classic heavyweight boxing match. Craziest game I’ve watched in years!
No lie, that last Pats drive is my favorite rs drive by the Pats. Everyone knows where the ball going but CAN'T STOP IT! The offensive dominance of Gronk is the best since Moss. They had a CB on him n he was leaving him every play in the dust.
I feel the struggle of a lions fan 😂
Lol
Brady would have been able to pull a game winning drive if it was a touchdown
It’s 2021 ans I still watch this game great time
Same
One of my all time favorites
Should've spiked it and played for overtime lol
As a Steeler's fan: Congratulation Patriots. You've played well. I don't understand how that wasn't a catch, but that's the referees' call. Why Big Ben didn't spike and took it to overtime i don't get neither. But as Tomlin said, don't get mad over a spilled glas of milk. I think Pittsburgh showed that they're very much capable of beating New England. I hope there will be a rematch in the playoffs and that the Steelers win that game. Because this was absolutely nervwrecking.
Btw. Gronk and Brady, that's some chemistry right there.
D. Wampianer wow a smart Steelers fan that’s rare
Nebula I get what you mean. When i read tweets and comments by some fans i'm really sad that they ruin it for the smart and dedicated fans. But let's be honest: Every team has morons as fans.
not being a smart ass, just explaining why it's not a TD, a runner once crossing the goal line = TD, catcher must maintain possession of the ball even in the goal line, or incomplete, it's in the rules
Dean Addo Ok good to know. I just watch the redzone and i don't know much about the rules. I was just confused why some players just hold the ball in with one hand and get the touchdown. But now i get it. Thanks for the explanation.
California Mike May be. Still no reason to react that hateful imo.
Absolutely love this game great memories... Brady Gronk Cooks what a team that was
Juju came up so clutch in this game.
Crazy to try a fake spike against a Belichick-coached team
Especially when it appears only one receiver had a clue. You'll note the other receivers are sort of milling around between the goal line and the 5 yard line.
Game of the year hands down
Steelers were ahead at the beginning and when gronk started to dominate I knew it was all over😂
jonathan kim Brady was throwing dots as well
Brady’s face after Juju had that long reception. “This defense is hot trash.” 😂😂😂
The next pats v steelers is going to be such a good game
Beast Bencze And we will see them again. They know they got lucky today. Enjoy this GIFT patriots and their fans, but WE WILL SEE THEM AGAIN IN THE PLAYOFFS.
tripdaddy66 And the same outcome will happen the Steelers have only beaten Brady TWICE in his career... If they meet in the playoffs it will most likely be at Gillette and we all know who will win that game AGAIN.
Keep talking. We shall see.
WestSideFlight Stats don't win games for you. They got lucky today
tripdaddy66 Yea neither do the Steelers against the Patriots
omg.......seahawks superbowl flshback. time to go back to therapy
Lmaooo
s song lol
U mean where they blew a 4th quarter lead to Tommy?
This is similar to Super Bowl 49.
XD
I miss this Steelers team so much, I’m very depressed when I think about the fact that we didn’t win a Championship with the Killer B’s. Not to mention, we got robbed at the end which still pisses me off to this day. Probably would of had home field advantage, ahh, what could have been. 😫
Davis dropping the easiest interception I've ever seen at the start of the Pat's final drive is the most forgotten play of this game. Brady hit him right in the damn chest
I think even bill belicheck was surprised by the call of no touchdown
No. He know that from the meeting in Goodeels office, with Kraft and the refs.
Nope. He is familiar with the rules.
No he wasn't he knew when he paid them off they would get it right for them
Walter Paddick that's a losers comment. That's how losers think. It sucks to lose, it's even worse to be a loser.
For real the look of shock the call was terrible
Its 2017 and people still dont realize that bad things happen when you pass against the patriots at the goaline
Reptilian Shape Shifting Master Race lmao so true
Reptilian Shape Shifting Master Race
Best comment lol
the good ole days
I think if we win this game nfl history changes forever
Jesse caught it and no one can prove that it wasn't a catch, the ball crossed the goal line while he had possesion
they really cant, there is no indisputable evidence to overturn that touchdown call
MoonWatcher 74 this isnt nam there are rules
The reviewing committee in New York did, and both Romo and Nantz agreed with the reviewing committe. I named an entire committee that's paid by the NFL and two very well known people in the world of football who both proved you wrong. I personally don't need to unless the NFL pays me.
I can’t prove you wrong because you’re obviously blind. The ball moved on the ground. Get over it. Move on.
Alfred Closson tbh the ball crossed the goal line while he had possession, one of the worst calls I've seen
Doesn’t matter what you say about that call at the end, Brady really is the GOAT. it was an amazing game and as a die hard steeler fan the patriots always get the best of us no matter how you put it, see you in the AFC championship patriots
Jeff Spicoli i wish there were more steelers fans like you. No bitching, no complaining about refs, just giving credit where credit is due. If pats lost i would be saying good game steelers. Respect to u sir
I have been following Patriots from 2001 Season. I was in college in NH and it was the first time I ever watched American Football. I remember the game when Bledsoe got injured by Mo Lewis (NY Jets) and Brady took over, I told my friend Dan Avery that Tom Brady looks and acts like an Indian Cricketer named Rahul Dravid always calm and composed and his demeanor seems so secure as if he is never under pressure. True to my assessment Brady became the GOAT. I became a Patriot for the lifetime.
I was in that game live voting for. Patriots
Fun Fact Brady is now 11-2 vs. Steelers
Patriots Defender. Refs* sorry I had to correct you.
+Scotty J2k Did the refs cause all of those Patriots' players to get injured throughout the season because otherwise, this game wouldn't have been a game had Edelman, Cannon, Mitchell, and Van Noy played.
Gronk was a legend this game
Jax Gaming he shouldn't of been playing
What a great game
Patriots always pull a win out their ass somehow someway. Much props for the effort, so far it's got them a few rings.
The rule is: "You have to survive the fall" The ball bounced off his hand as he falls. If he hugged it, then would have been a touchdown. But he uses the ball to soften his fall, ball gonna bounce.
Lucas Miranda nah bruh, he used the ball to try and get the TD
and he didnt !
As a pats fans. That was a ver bad call. See yall in the afc championship
CAVS #1 HATER If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete. good call
Noah Gebre but u know if that was thrown by brady it would of stand as a touchdown man. Steelers played so much better. Im giving credit where its due
It would of been a great call if was the other way around right?
6 months after the game and it’s announced that the new catch rule would have counted James’ catch
Quite literally a game the Steelers have not recovered from years later. As of 2024, the franchise has not been able to reach the heights the 2017 Steelers team was destined for. While the defense was in shambles with the loss of Shazier, that Steelers offense was loaded with talent. This team will always be a what-if in my eyes
As a steelers fan, i'm disgusted by these refs.
Notre Dame36
I'm disgusted by the partriots and how they get away with everything that was a touchdown that Jessie James caught
It was incomplete, he didn't have full control of the ball when it hit the ground. The same thing happened to Dez Bryant. Its an incomplete pass.
Whiplash95 chill
Might not have been a catch or it might have been. Regardless I didnt see any indisputable evidence to overturn that ruling of a touchdown. Im a Vikings fan that hates both teams with a passion so dont call me a biased ass.
1st interception vs Steelers in 12 years what!? 🐐
VIEWER VOTE: was it a catch? Or incomplete.
I say catch and td since the ball just needs to break the plane.
Angel Garcia it was catch
Here's the problem with the NFL. Sometimes they use the rule and sometimes they don't. Remember the Jordy Nelson catch from last year.
If you even watched football you'd realize this call has been the only consistently enforced rule in the NFL for years
+Kyle no it hasn't, raiders got a catch yesterday that wasn't a catch
NFL can please define a catch for us?
-Sincerely every NFL Team,Player,Fan that has been cheated of a "catch"
Item 1. Player Going to the Ground. A player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.
They did, you can literally find the rules online. It wasnt a catch according to the rules
A catch has to be secure all the way to the ground and witch the ball hit the ground on the goal line ! there for it was not a catch !!!
4 years later and Jesse James still caught it 😂
And for those who say he didn’t catch it, pssst this game changed the definition of a catch in the NFL rule books 😉
Ok. I'm going to explain this as simply and clearly as I can.
When a receiver, like Jesse James in this case, jumps to catch the ball, he must keep hold of it until he has fully landed back on the ground. This means that even if his knee touches the ground first, he must still maintain control of the ball through the entire process of falling. In this play, James lost control of the ball while he was still in the process of landing - his knee had hit the ground, but the rest of his body was not yet settled. The ball touched the ground before he could regain control, which he ultimately didn't, resulting in an incomplete pass according to the rules.
People can say it's a bad rule, but it's definitely not a bad call. It was the correct call according to the rules at the time.
One of my all time favourite Patriots game. It had everything 👍

@Eliot Jurgensen no actually even rules at the time that was a catch.
The part in the game where the Pittsburgh Steelers let go of the ball in the end zone was amazing! Especially the intersect that the New England Patriots did!
