There wasn't but there didn't need to be given the call on the field. There needed to be compelling evidence to the contrary. 

 

Thanks.  I was watching with a group and couldn’t hear the commentary.

@shaw66 convinced me the rule makes sense with this comment:

So a receiver can be standing out of bounds and tip the ball to a teammate inbounds, and that's a catch?  That COULD be the rule, but it violates the basic idea that the game is played inside the lines, not outside.  

 

Otherwise you get into weird territory of "well where was the ball relative to where the out of bounds player was" stuff and so on and so on.  The NFL needs more objective calls and less subjective calls.  Everyone remembers the pushing receivers out of bounds days right?

 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
