Jerricho Cotchery didn’t “catch” the ball
So much went wrong for Carolina in the Super Bowl, but the call on the Jerricho Cotchery play right before Cam Newton fumbled away the ball for a touchdown was a critical turning point.
As the video above explains, CBS did a terrible job of explaining the ruling. While Cotchery had his hand under the ball, the tip of the ball did touch the ground, and then it moved after that. It’s pretty simple – that wasn’t a catch.
