The Replay Official reviewed the fumble ruling, and the play was REVERSED. (Shotgun) C.Palmer pass short left to J.Nelson to CHI 22 for 6 yards (Q.Demps).


It was originally kept alive and the Bears ran it in for a touchdown, although I'd think that interception would actually be what the play-by-play should say. Upon review they called it a catch and down by contact. I think there are a lot of people who would argue that he never even controlled the ball.

I feel like the rule that's least consistent across the board is "what is a catch?"
