What's the rule on the challenge? The original call was that the Bears' receiver was OOB, no call of juggling.
On the replay the ref said the ball moved when the receiver hit the ground.
I thought you could only reverse the original call. If the original call was that the ball was being juggled...it would stand.
That being said, why does the NFL require a catch to be maintained after a player hits the ground? Why would ongoing play nullify a good catch and 2 feet down in bounds?
Here's the kicker: The NFL also said Monday that if the original call had been a TD, there wasn't enough to reverse the call....
