Wondering about a player, a past game or another issue involving the Bears? Senior writer Larry Mayer answers a variety of email questions from fans on ChicagoBears.com.
I’m very confused about what is and what isn’t a catch in the NFL. I thought I had some idea until Sunday when the officials changed a Bears interception into a Lions touchdown. Can you please explain why that call was made?

You’re not the only one who’s confused, Ray. There are NFL players, coaches and broadcasters who are having trouble determining exactly what constitutes a catch.
