That is a catch?

New rule for this year:

Quote

The new rules defining a catch include: 

1. Control of the ball. 
2. Two feet down or another body part. 
3. A football move such as: 
» A third step; 
» Reaching/extending for the line-to-gain; 
» Or the ability to perform such an act. 

The key change to the rule eliminated the "going-to-the-ground" element of the previous rule. 

The NFL hopes the new rule will eradicate some of the frustration fans, coaches and players had with apparent catches -- like Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant's against Green Bay in the 2014 playoffs, or Steelers tight end Jesse James' reversed TD against the Patriots this past season -- being deemed incomplete.

Julio Jones had a catch taken away in week 1 that met all this and then some. NFL still doesn't know what a catch is even though we were told it would be fixed this year. I am not seeing it.

Why in the fuck would you not go for it there? Take the ball right out of Rodgers hands. Good call, Mike

I said it right when it happened. Why are you punting? So many coaches get scared in their own end. You need 6 feet for a 1st down. If you can't pick that up, then go home. They only had 1 timeout, less than 5min and their defense has sucked in the 4th qtr. I would never fault a coach for going for it there in that situation. Even if the attempt failed.
