Imo, it was a catch by the rule as it is written
Rule 8.1.3 requires:
A. Secure ball
B. Two feet inbounds
Then:
C. Football move, or ground contact that does not dislodge the ball
Cooks does secure possession, and the ball remains firmly in possession after ground contact
@BuiltInBuffalo_ I always liked McDermott and the way he looked out for his guys, but I would say some of the playoff loses that we have gotten were because of poor coaching decisions. As far as the trade deadline went this year he didnโt make any moves to help us when we lost our receivers.
This is coming from one of the greatest DBs to ever do it. Refs with no ball knowledge making game deciding decisions that just saved fan duel BILLIONS of dollars and cost Josh and the Bills a shot at the big one.
I have never seen a contested catch like this ever be called anything but a catch. Even as a DB you know that if itโs even a Tie it will go to the WR. Canโt believe this decided the game.
