NFL agrees: Megatron made catch; Dez Bryant, too

Indianapolis — The NFL competition committee is now acknowledging something Dallas Cowboys have known all along: Dez caught it.

New York Giants owner John Mara told ESPN on Tuesday that Bryant’s “no catch” in the Cowboys’ 2014 playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers will likely be ruled a catch in the future.

He said the competition committee has reached a “unanimous” agreement that Bryant’s play should have been ruled complete as well as that of former Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson in 2010 against the Bears.

The competition committee is conducting meetings prior to the NFL Scouting Combine in the Indianapolis in hopes of changing the rule for the 2018 season.
