Hey, NFL: What’s a catch? “I have never seen a contested catch like this ever be called anything but a catch,” retired three-time All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman posted on X. But officials ruled it a catch and replay confirmed his knee was down just before he lost the ball. This isn’t the first time the NFL has dealt with a catch issue in a playoff game. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control.
