NFL Network - Official Review

Originally posted by acruther from a sports forum:

They were talking about about forceouts. The head of officials said that the Bubba Franks TD and Owens non-catch were mistakes. Said they should have been called force-outs. Interesting he said that because it was reviewed, they could not call forceout as part of the review. As a result, the catch was overturned because it was originally called a catch (i.e. 2 feet in) and not a forceout. He said that he has been telling guys to just rule forceout in cases like this to prevent the issue.

I should note that this call didn't cost us any points because we scored a TD on this drive anyway.
