This is probably going to be our last mention of WR Michael Clayton's apparent catch on Sunday that eventually was ruled an interception.

Earlier this evening, on NFL Network, league vice president of officiating Mike Pereira did his regular segment that takes a look at a debated call from the previous weekend. This week, the first play on his agenda was the one that led to an argument that got Bucs coach Raheem Morris fined $20,000.

Pereira articulates the details pretty well and makes some decent points. It's worth watching whether or not you agree. At issue, he said, is the fact that Clayton's second foot does not make contact with the ground before the defender collides with him. Under that scenario, the rules have been amended to require that a player must maintain contact with the ball all the way through the process of hitting the ground. Here's the problem: Pereira never addresses at what point that process ends. Considering Clayton had rolled completely over with a defender on top of him and had started to get up, this seemed pertinent.

"If he comes down with both feet, so he's planted with both feet on the ground, then he is hit by a defender and knocked to the ground and the ball comes out, (then it's a) catch," Pereira said. "Down by contact because he is not deemed to be going to the ground. So, that's the key.

"Then it's (a) catch and down by contact, as opposed to being hit before you get both feet on the ground. Now, you're going to the ground and have to hold on to the ball throughout that whole process. The ball never hit the ground."

Well into the process, the ball squirted out and Miami LB Jason Taylor scooped it up for what was deemed an interception.
