The NFL has a catch problem on its hands. It has for the last few years, honestly, ever since Calvin Johnson reeled in a touchdown and had it overturned because he's too athletic. The catch issue rears its head every week, hitting an apex during the playoffs two years ago when Dez Bryant had a catch overturned in a loss to the Packers.

Common sense took a rare step forward on Sunday, however, as the Gene Steratore-led officiating crew decided to give Allen Robinson a touchdown on a play where he didn't end up holding the ball when he stood up after a catch.
