According to NFL Executive VP of Football Operations Troy Vincent, the on-field officials were correct to initially call Isaiah Likely's touchdown in the Ravens-Steelers game, and the replay reversal should not have occurred. Vincent told Mark Maske that the play was among several replay rulings the league has had second thoughts about.
The controversial call came down to determining what constituted the 'third act' necessary to complete a catch, with Vincent noting most questionable calls came during the early Sunday window when multiple games are happening simultaneously and the replay office is handling increased volume.
