1. Green Bay at New York Jets
THE SITUATION: The Jets had the ball third-and-11 at the Packers 43-yard line at 4:48 of the second quarter.
THE PLAY: Mark Sanchez's pass intended for Jerricho Cotchery was intercepted by Tramon Williams at the Green Bay 40. The Jets challenged that the runner was down-by-contact ruling and the play was upheld.
MY TAKE: This was a very interesting play. The only thing that was reviewable in this play was whether the pass was complete or incomplete.
The ruling on the field was that the receiver and the defender had joint possession of the ball and the defender pulled the ball away from the receiver after hitting the ground. Who actually catches or intercepts the pass is not reviewable in replay.
The only chance the Jets had was that, somehow, the ball had hit the ground which would make the pass incomplete. If I were on the field, I'm not really sure I would have let the Jets challenge this play. It left the Jets with no challenges remaining the rest of the game. Since the aspect of who is determined to catch or intercept the pass is not reviewable, they really they had no chance of getting it reversed.
