Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh called the league on Monday, looking for clarification after a critical touchdown was called back in the team’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers the day before.
When he hung up, Harbaugh was just as confused as he was before he made the call.
“It’s about as clear as mud right now,” Harbaugh said of the NFL’s catch rule, via ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “That’s how I feel about it.”
Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson found Isaiah Likely late in the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon, and it appeared like Likely had scored a go-ahead touchdown. Even CBS analyst Tony Romo was fully confident in the play as officials were looking at it.
But after a review, officials reversed their call and determined that it was not a touchdown. The Ravens did not score again after that, and the Steelers ended up escaping with a 27-22 win.
