Good Friday to you Steelers fans.
It has come to my attention this week that many fans don’t understand what a dropped pass is in the game of football. There’s been a cliche in this game that is as old as the forward pass that says “if it hits you in the hands you have to catch it.” First of all there are exceptions to every rule. Take for instance a ball thrown too deep but the receiver turns on the jets, dives and at full extension the ball comes off his hands. This is not a drop.
