NFL referees still don't have any idea what a catch is, in case you were wondering.

The latest example of the NFL's incompetence when it comes to ruling what a catch actually is came in Sunday's divisional-round matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills.

Late in the second quarter, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow appeared to connect with receiver Ja'Marr Chase for a touchdown that would have put Cincinnati up by two scores, but a video review reversed the call and forced the Bengals to settle for a field goal.

Take a look at the play for yourself:

Matt Milano forces the ball loose to prevent the TD.

Naturally, after the catch was overturned, those on Twitter let their opinion be known.

Sorry it just seems a little silly to rule this incomplete when the ball never even hits the ground. pic.twitter.com/o5wElr076K

I do not understand the NFL catch rule.

I hate that we are in 2023 and still have no idea what’s a catch in the NFL smh

I don't know if that was a catch or not. I do know that it wasn't obvious enough to overturn whatever the call on the field might be.
