I completely agree that it should have been called a catch. However, as someone mentioned above, it still wouldn't have given us a first down.

If they had ruled it as a catch as they should have, then they would have also had to spot it where he reached out. He would have been maybe a half yard short, and from where we were on the field Payton was surely going to go for it. There's no other reason he would have challenged.

I think not getting the call made him angry and influenced going for the fake.
