Dez caught it, NFL committee says three years later

A few years later, we can finally say “Dez caught it.”

The NFL competition committee said the infamously overturned catch from the January 2015 NFC divisional round playoff game at Green Bay should have been ruled a complete catch, ESPN reported on Tuesday. Dallas wound up losing the game, 26-21, to the Packers.

The Dez catch and others like it are likely to prompt a rewrite of the catch rule in the NFL in time for the upcoming 2018 season. The committee would need to have proposed changes ready to present in a month.

Though I haven't watched a game since Goodell reinstated Vick in 2009, it's difficult to avoid All Things Football when living in north Texas. (and, as so many people love to hate Dallas, it's just one more cherry on the sundae)
