While I wouldn't go as far as betting the family farm on it, I'd wager a rather hefty sum had the score been flipped (Green Bay down to Da Boys, 26-21) and the great Aaron Rodgers makes that throw (same down and distance, time on the clock, too) while Jordy Nelson makes an identical "jumping out of the stadium" catch......well let's just say my bet is the home town team is setting up shop on the Cowboy's 1 - 2 yard line with First and Goal. It was a homer call all the way IMO.
The NFL Rules Committee has made it so we don't even know what constitutes a catch anymore. It's a shame such an amazing act of athleticism becomes nothing more than a "what if"in the footnotes.
