Mike Pereira rips NFL for overturning Bills WR Kelvin Benjamin's TD catch

[Wolf.17]

Another week, another catch rule controversy.

In Sunday’s Patriots-Bills game, Buffalo receiver Kelvin Benjamin appeared to haul in a toe-tapping touchdown that would have given the Bills a lead in the second quarter.

Benjamin caught the pass over Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore near the back pylon in the right side of the end zone. It appeared as if Benjamin got both feed inbounds and maintained possession.

The play was ruled a touchdown, but after a replay review, it was overturned with no explanation given.

The Patriots went on to a 37-16 win after outscoring the Bills 24-3 in the second half.

Former NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira, currently an analyst for FOX Sports, addressed the issue with candor on his official Twitter account. In doing so, he seemed to take a shot at current vice president of officiating Al Riveron, who was responsible for the decision to overturn.
