BOCA RATON, Fla. – Fourteen months have passed, and the question still gets debated among fans and observers as fervently as that cold day in Green Bay: Did Dez Bryant catch it?
Although there isn’t a proposal this week here at the NFL Annual Meeting to further tweak the catch rule’s criteria, the subject resurfaced during Monday’s Competition Committee press conference. Dean Blandino, the NFL’s vice president of officiating, said the league organized focus groups comprising former and current NFL receivers, former head coaches and former game officials, to discuss the rule’s interpretation.
