Recently played game Minnesota Vikings against new england patriots It was quite controversial. The Pats lost 33-26 against the Vikings, but there was one game in particular that could impact and turn the tide. it was a touchdown Hunter Henry.
But the game looked good; The authorities eventually overthrew him and he was not counted. This was a setback for New England. While many criticisms came to the authorities for disrupting this game, an explanation came as to why the decision was taken at the end of the league.
Vice President of Officiating Walt Anderson gave an interview with Mike Reiss. ESPN After the match, the referees gave the reason for the decision. This is what the VP had to say when asked what it was that the referees were seeing to determine if Henry was in control of the ball in the game.
“He was falling to the ground, the ball touched the ground, and then he lost control of the ball.” Henry was not given possession before the ball hit the ground and this is because, “As he lands, he needs to be in control of the ball when it touches the ground.”

Hunter Henry’s capsized goal cost the Patriots a chance to win the game against the Vikings:
“The commonly used term is ‘surviving on the ground’, a lot of people say that. He has both feet and control elements on the way down, but because he is on the ground, he has to be in control of the ball when he lands.
We can see from the game that both hands of the wide player are placed on the ball, but that didn’t play that big of a role in deciding the validity of the game because at the end of the day all that matters is whether he has control over it. “If he had been in control of the ball with both hands, even if the ball had touched the ground, it would still have been a catch if the ball had not lost control after it had touched the ground.”
This was the official’s explanation of his decision. While the touchdown was initially noticed by the authorities, it was canceled after a review. Henry was furious with the decision and told reporters after the match: “I believe I got it.”
Head Coach Bill Belichick didn’t want to talk about this game. He even chuckled when asked. “Why don’t you go to the authorities with your pool reporter and ask them about the game? Let them explain it to you. Right? Isn’t that what you did? Thank you.” Now we know for sure why the game crashed.
