I'll agree with everyone else - it sounds like this is no catch. My personal guideline (which I think I got from someone on this board) is: Would it be a catch at the 50?

If this is ruled as a catch, then we have a TD under all rule sets that I know of - the INT does not, in and of itself, make the ball dead.

My question is this: Why is the LB drilling his teammate?
