NFL replacement refs and the Seahawks win. A Week 3 NFL quiz
The controversy on the last play was whether Seattle receiver Golden Tate had caught quarterback Russell Wilson’s 24-yard pass or whether M.D. Jennings had intercepted it. In the replays, Jennings appeared to secure that ball first in a jumble of leaping players, but Tate, who pushes one Packer defender from behind, quickly reached in an arm as the scrum of players fell to the ground. The apparent ruling was a simultaneous catch, which goes to the offensive player.
