I understand the rule and why a simultaneous catch goes to the offensive player, but I disagree with the premise that offense is more exciting than defense that many are stating as reasoning behind or justification of the rule. Attempting to look at yesterday's situation as an unbiased observer instead of a Bills fan, the play was exciting when the offense retained possession only because it resulted in a touchdown. If the same play happened at midfield, though, an interception would be more exciting than a catch on the sideline by the offense in my opinion. Its not as if a turnover results in less offense, it just changes the team with the ball.
