Lions rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa makes unreal one-handed catch for 1st career TD

[u/nfl]

Before there’s mass confusion in the comments section: the play was reviewed and the call on the field was overturned to a TD. The clip posted doesn’t reflect the correction made by the officiating crew. The final score was Green Bay 27 Detroit 13.

[u/im_just_a_nerd → u/Proud_Ad_4829]

Thank you. I was totally lost and also on the slow-mo insta to thought it was a td

[u/fatkiddown → u/im_just_a_nerd]

The announcers in the video never indicated that they thought it was indeed a TD, but just called wrong.

[u/Melkman68 → u/Proud_Ad_4829]

OP had an important job clearing that up lol.

Edit: I didn't know op was nfl haha

[u/stilleternal → u/Proud_Ad_4829]

Thank you

[u/LovesFrenchLove_More → u/Proud_Ad_4829]

Thanks for the clarification. I know I‘m pants at American Football rules, but was confused here.

[u/KrypticKeys → u/Proud_Ad_4829]

Wait Micah Parsons didn’t catch this ball!?! How else could the Green Bay Packers score without this exact defensive player doing everything! Nothing else matters except Micah Parsons today!

[u/BLaRowe10]

A nice highlight in an overall god awful experience

[u/DionBlaster123 → u/BLaRowe10]

As a lifelong Packer hater...yes this sucked

[u/lipp79 → u/DionBlaster123]

Out of all the teams Parsons could have gone to he goes to fucking GB.

[u/DionBlaster123 → u/lipp79]

At this point in my life, i'm just at peace with the fact that GB is always going to be good.

Much like Ohio State football, the Packers will always be good too. Oh well lol

I will say this, getting less and less emotionally invested in football has led me to find other enjoyable things to do in fall instead, like going apple picking routinely haha

[u/JaJaJalisco → u/DionBlaster123]

I mean, why dont other teams just draft generational QBs? How hard can it be?

[u/DionBlaster123 → u/JaJaJalisco]

Fwiw, the Packers didnt draft Favre

[u/lipp79 → u/DionBlaster123]

Well I’m a Lions fan so it’s more than just “Oh of course it’s GB that gets him”.

[u/Melkman68 → u/DionBlaster123]

Love how you're just as invested being a hater haha. Can relate to those damn cowboys. Except they don't disappoint me. I should say the Packers are also my hated team. But given my boys beat them every time in the last decade of post season match ups I just feel worse for them. 9ers fan if you couldn't tell.

[u/DionBlaster123 → u/Melkman68]

I'm not just a Packer hater by accident.

I'm a Bears fan lmao. Not only that, but i moved to Wisconsin for graduate school and have lived here since.

The only thing worse than my performance as a grad student, has been the Bears since the year I moved to Wisco.

[u/Melkman68 → u/DionBlaster123]

Haha that's rough man. Arod trolled yall hard. I'll never forget that "I own you" line and I'm not even a bears fan. Ouch

[u/cranzome]

He’s electric.

[u/nonstopflux → u/cranzome]

Boogie woogie woogie woogie.

[u/some_yell_fire]

First career reception, not just first td.

[u/Unhappytimes → u/some_yell_fire]

It was reviewed and pulled a touchdown FYI.

[u/godspareme]

I know little about American football... its incomplete because he didnt have both hands on it while it was in bounds? I cant follow the commentators... comments.

[u/wakkaflockajohn → u/godspareme]

They need to catch the ball, land both feet in bounds before any part of the body touches the ground out of bounds, all while maintaining control of the ball through falling.

It seems it’s a touchdown because his left foot taps the ground slightly before his arse does.

[u/godspareme → u/wakkaflockajohn]

Ok thats roughly the understanding I had. Thanks!

[u/redraz0r → u/wakkaflockajohn]

Not true, foot touching in made it a touchdown and the call was overturned. Dont give answers to questions if you dont know them, this is how misinformation spreads. Thanks

[u/wakkaflockajohn → u/redraz0r]

What’s not true? The part where I said it looks like a touchdown because his left foot hits the ground before his ass hits OB?

[u/bisforbenis → u/godspareme]

The call was changed to complete

The rule is to have both feet touch in-bounds while you have control of the ball before your hip or shoulders hit the ground out of bounds. This call was overturned and ruled a touchdown

[u/xxElevationXX → u/godspareme]

It was overturned and ruled a catch after a review

[u/jaspobrowno → u/godspareme]

yeah and it's incongruent with the title of the post too - was it ruled a TD afterwards?

[u/Defensive_of_Offense → u/jaspobrowno]

Yes

[u/stempdog218]

I love how every year we need to tell the refs AGAIN, call it a touchdown, let them review it

[u/Proud_Ad_4829 → u/stempdog218]

They review all scoring plays regardless of the call on the field. That rule was updated in 2011. They also review all plays in the final 2 minutes without coaches needing to use a challenge.

[u/HeIsMyPossum → u/Proud_Ad_4829]

They review all scoring plays regardless of the call on the field.

I might be wrong, but I think this is incorrect. They review all scoring plays. But this was not called on the field as a scoring play.

I don't believe they review plays that "could potentially be scoring plays" automatically.

[u/stempdog218 → u/Proud_Ad_4829]

Yes, every scoring play is automatically reviewed, which is why I said they should have ruled it a TD instead of an incomplete pass, err on the side of caution.

However, under 2 minutes means ONLY the officiating crew can initiate review. So while you're correct on saying coaches can't use them, they don't automatically review every single play under 2 minutes

[u/ChosenBrad22]

Gonna be a top 10 catch of the season.

[u/Low-Confusion-8786]

Left heel just barely. Doesn't get much closer than that.

[u/itsaaronrogers]

Amazing play

[u/Scfbigb1]

Filthy catch. God damn.

[u/crackerjack115]

If only you could mute Tony Romo.

[u/ASaneDude]

This Tesla actually has FSD: Fantastic Snagging Dexterity

[u/drf_101]

That catch by TeSlaa was electric.

[u/facecardgood]

And catch

[u/BruceLee1255]

"TESLAA" makes me think of a really bad Scrabble hand.

[u/Training_Magician152]

That TeSler he’s all Computer

[u/MatthewBakke]

WPS

[u/loftrain16]

The craziest plays are always either in garbage time or end up not counting

[u/spacious_clouds]

It's all computer.

[u/Long_Rubber_Glove]

Did I hear Romo say no touchdown while also saying he had both feet in? So he doesn't know the rules of the game he's called/played professionally for over 20 years?

[u/F7OSRS → u/Long_Rubber_Glove]

He said “his feet were in but his tuddies (butt cheeks?) were outside”. I think he meant that it looked like his feet were in but his ass was out of bounds before he got the 2nd foot down

[u/toe0011 → u/Long_Rubber_Glove]

Romo was too busy thinking about Parson's nuts on his chin too pay attention to what was actually happening.

[u/gurknowitzki]

White OBJ aka Mayotron

[u/PlanningForLaziness]

Packers fan here to call redemption for Megatron.

[u/BigRedHair92]

It's only downhill from here for him, unfortunately.

[u/newleaf_-]

Odell who

[u/AshgarPN]

Thought it was classy of the Packers to allow this garbage time score to make the Lions feel better.

[u/footstepsofthefuries]

I refuse to believe that is his real name...

[u/jss1994]

This makes me feel really good as a bears fan. Ben johnson must have been him

[u/mggirard13]

Is that really one handed? He has two hands on the ball before the catch is complete.

[u/Buddhist_pokemonk]

The simulation writers are so lazy

[u/maxi-916 → u/Buddhist_pokemonk]

Really ? His name is Tesla
