Bill Belichick admits there’s no ‘consensus’ on what a catch is in NFL

It’s on to the Buffalo Bills for the New England Patriots after a heartbreaking Thursday night road loss to the Minnesota Vikings. However, the team’s willingness to quickly turn the page hasn’t made the controversial Thanksgiving game any less of a talking point.

There were several obvious missed calls on the field that aided in the Patriots dropping their fifth loss of the season, but the most egregious to fans has been the overturned touchdown on the Hunter Henry catch.

NFL senior vice president of officiating Walt Anderson has already given his explanation for why the touchdown was overturned, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s no clear understanding of what a catch is in the NFL.
