ALLEN PARK -- Have you ever gotten confused trying to figure out what exactly is a catch in the NFL? Don't worry.
The officials were confused too.
"Going to the ground, that aspect of our rule was very confusing to a lot of people, including people in this room and people outside this room," NFL official Brad Allen said Friday during a visit to Lions HQ. "I'll just leave it at that."
That sound you hear is all of Detroit nodding in unison, because the Lions were victimized a couple times by, shall we say, odd catch rulings over the years.
