OK, what? How is this acceptable?
Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions just won the game over the Chicago Bears with a great catch in the end zone. The ref in front of the play signals touchdown, but it's over ruled?
Highway robbery.
"The ruling is that in order for the catch to be completed he has got to maintain possession of the ball throughout the entire process of the catch," referee Gene Steratore told Associated Press after the game.
Yeah, well Johnson landed on both feet with control and rolled on the ground. He let go of the ball in celebration because he just won the game. The refs should be more forgiving in a situation like this.
Johnson made an incredible play to give the Lions its first road win in three years. It's sad to see that taken away by a stupid call.
