27 seconds left and Calvin Johnson caught a 25 yard or so TD pass. It was so obvious. I landed with 3 feet down, a hip in bounds and all the time he was holding it in his right hand without moving. He set it down as he was standing up and pushed himself up with the ball and it came out as he was celebrating and they called in incomplete. The announcers even said it was ridiculous and so obvious a TD. If ever I thought refs were paid off, that was a play that was way too obvious. I watched it a few more times even in slo motion and he had it for several steps. I am glad I am not a lions fan. That call was pathetic!

Dont bother CG, It was clearly incomplete, clearly..The rules are clear- You better learn them viking before you enter contests like this.
In order for the catch to actually be a completion the receiver "must maintain control of the ball after his BODY touches the ground. ... to maintain possession of the ball throughout the entire process of the catch". ...
