Jennings had the ball, period. Beyond that though, the ONLY reason that Tate was in position to have a shot at the ball was because of one of the most blatent pushoffs ever witnessed in pro football when he launched Sam Shields 2 yds forward.
The whole thing is a debacle and simply ruins any integrity the league claims it has.
One other thing that i cant understand, why was it ruled a TD when two officials of equal importance ruled two different things. Unless i missed it, there was no conference among the officials to determine which call was correct. It was just "TD Seattle" after the pile of players was sorted through with no confab of all the officials....then a quick review with replay which also was shown to the TV audience where it was clear there was no catch.
Its all so bizarre.
