Patriots rookie receiver Ja”lynn Polk said he did not get an explanation from officials about why his go-ahead touchdown was overturned in the closing minutes of New England’s 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Officials initially ruled Polk’s catch as a touchdown, but reversed the call after a review. NFL receivers must get both feet in-bounds to make a catch, and Polk appeared to step on the out of bounds line. According to NFL rules, a player is ruled out of bounds if any part of the foot hits out of bounds during the motion of a normal continuous step.
