The call on the field was an incomplete pass. The booth called for a replay review.

And referee Tony Corrente decided that the the pass was indeed incomplete as to Clayton -- and that Jason Taylor had caught the ball before it hit the ground.

The play relies upon the same rule that has applied several times this season. When a player making a catch is going to the ground, he must maintain the possession through the act of landing.

In this case, if the call on the field had been that the pass was completed, there might not have been sufficient visual evidence to overturn it. Here, the officials decided correctly that there was insufficient visual evidence to overturn the decision that Clayton didn't catch it. The question was whether Taylor caught the ball after it popped up from Clayton's chest.

The video in that regard was clear -- Taylor made the catch, and Corrente awarded possession to the Dolphins.

So the officials got it right, via replay review.

Actually, if they'd gotten it completely right the call on the field would have been that Taylor had scored a touchdown.

The play wasn't controversial at all, plays like that happen all the time. WR's that go airborne to catch a pass have to maintain possession when they hit the ground. Bucs fans feel they got screwed by the refs because the ref didn't explain the ruling correctly.
 
c'mon, really? You have got to be blind if u think U can defend the refs. horrible horrible call.......... but awesome result haha
 
JT got screwed out of a TD....has any defensive lineman scored more TD's then JT??? I think not.
 
JT didn't get screwed. You could clearly see 2 Tampa Bay defenders pull up on the play because the play was blown dead.

Good call by the officials!!!

I agree....but it was blown dead, so, that is the correct call......replay worked just how it was intended:up:
 
We get a call right and people still whine, awesome. You can't please anyone.

NO is squeaking by every opponent since playing us, do you think their complaining about those wins or enjoying them?
 
I think the refs blew the call. It looked to me like he caught the ball and was tackled. Maybe the refs had some secret angle I didn't get to see, but I saw nothing that suggested it was a pick. I can definitely understand the Bucs fans being upset.
