The Cowboys/Packers NFC Divisional game ended with a crucial call deciding the outcome. Last week, it was a controversial no call that broke the back of the Detroit Lions and ultimately ended their season. This time, karma seemed to strike back with a fervor as Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant's game altering catch was overturned by the now infamous "Calvin Johnson rule". The rule, while mystifying to some, was fully implemented after 2010 to make sure that all wide receivers maintain control of the football all the way to the ground on any catch.
This is sure to spark many debates among athletes, fans, and analysts alike, with some wanting amendments made to Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 1. The reversal of Bryant's catch will certainly have wide out coaches all across the league teaching the full process of a catch many times over, that way it won't cost their teams a game of similar magnitude.
And here is the play that started it all
