I think the simplest point to make in regards to OBJ play is that if that play was on the 50yd line it would have been ruled incomplete so the same should hold true in the endzone. Can't call something a catch that's not really just bc he's in the endzone

Re: Freeman TD

For any pass reception where the receiver ends up going to the ground, they have to have control through the catch ie 'complete the process'. It does not matter how many steps they take if going to the group while catching the ball. I disagree with this one and the Dez Bryant play but that is the current rule.

OBJ was not a catch by any means.
