The ruling on the field was definitely questionable but Barn got the benefit of the doubt. A review probably doesn’t change the ruling on the field on this one, because it was kind of borderline whether he really had control. Had the ruling on the field been against Barn I don’t think a review overturns that one either.Had they hit the ground it wouldn’t have been a catch as he didn’t maintain control
Even after watching the replay I’m not sure it would have been called a catch with an official review
I initially thought "that's not a catch, that's an INT."
But.....watch the guy's body language. He knew he made the catch, and so when the defensive player started off with the ball, he made no effort to catch him.
If there would have been doubt, he would have instantly gone after the ball, but no. He caught it, and he knew he caught it.
Yep. They stopped the clock when a guy’s forward progress was whistled dead in bounds. They stopped a clock when a guy was clearly tackled near the sideline but in bounds. They stopped the clock on the 4th and 4 first down and didn’t start it back until they snapped the ball.
