NFL left cleaning up Troy Vincent's mess on Super Bowl replay

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The lesson to take away from the NFL's latest game of factual hide-and-seek is this: Troy Vincent doesn't know what he's talking about.

In the second half of Super Bowl 52, Eagles running back Corey Clement made a catch at the back of the end zone. Replay showed that, after Clement brought the ball in, he readjusted his grip and -- in that moment -- true control was lost. (Check 3:40 of this video to get a better look.)

By the standards the NFL was going by in 2017, it looked like more than enough to overturn the touchdown and bring on a fourth down for the Eagles.
