Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford voiced his frustration with the NFL's catch rule, lamenting the periodic absence of common sense. He noted the rules have changed frequently during his 17-year career and cited Isaiah Likely's overturned touchdown as an example where the on-field ruling 'sure looked like one.' Stafford expressed sympathy for officials but criticized New York's replay reviews for overturning seemingly correct calls, wishing common sense would sometimes override the rule.
