MINNEAPOLIS — Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson was livid Sunday when NFL replay overturned a fourth-quarter touchdown catch that would have closed the Philadelphia Eagles’ lead to two points in Minnesota’s eventual 28-22 loss.
Hockenson said he had «control the whole time» and revealed that two members of referee Bill Vinovich’s crew told him they considered the play a catch and touchdown even after it was overturned.
«There was nothing to overturn it», Hockenson said. «I mean, I was out there. I felt it, hands under the ball, snag it and I don’t understand. I don’t basically understand the catch rule at this point. . I don’t understand how New York can call in and just be like, ‘Yeah, that’s not a catch’, when there was no evidence that it wasn’t.
