    Lance Easley, the replacement referee (and a bank vice-president) who made one of the most infamous calls in NFL history, a touchdown on the the last play of the Monday Night Football game that gave the Seahawks a win over Green Bay, talks to Matt Lauer on “The Today Show” about his call. He stands by his decision.

      Yes, look closely. What I see is the ball on (what I believe to be)
      Golden Tate’s left arm, which is between the ball and Jennings’ chest. It appears that Tate’s right arm is then wrapped around Jennings’ right arm. Don’t know if that makes (or should make) it a
      simultaneous catch or an interception, but at least describe the above
      pic accurately. The ball is not “upon the chest” of Jennings. It is upon an arm which lies between the ball and Jennings’ chest and it’s not Jennings’ arm.

      Jennings was in the air when he caught the ball. Tate’s feet reached the ground first before Jennings. Having the ball on your chest does not constitute a catch.
