11. I watched the video of this on ESPN.com and from my judgment the Packers player maintained control.

From the NFL rulebook Rule 8, Article 3, Item 5: "If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball."

I don't understand, the rule book is clear.	naaman fletcher	Sep 2012	#39
It's not dual possession. Jennings clearly had the ball pinned to his chest. Tate did not.	Auggie	Sep 2012	#41
Yeah, but that gets into "what does posession mean"	naaman fletcher	Sep 2012	#43
Rule 8 - Section 3 - Article 1 - Item 5	muriel_volestrangler	Sep 2012	#45
If you look at the replay in slo-mo	AAO	Sep 2012	#70
Tate also clearly interfered with a defense player	muriel_volestrangler	Sep 2012	#42
Yeah but that is not relevant to the posession issue.	naaman fletcher	Sep 2012	#44
but it is relevant to the shitty officiating issue	frylock	Sep 2012	#49

It is clear the refs got the review wrong.	yellowcanine	Sep 2012	#72
after further review...	Baclava	Sep 2012	#63
The defensive player caught the ball first and never dropped it so how is it not an interception?	yellowcanine	Sep 2012	#71
Real refs are close to returning this week?	Baclava	Sep 2012	#73
