Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson Criticizes 'Ridiculous' Touchdown Reversal in Loss to Eagles
The NFL replay center in New York ruled Hockenson's catch incomplete after review, overturning a touchdown during Sunday’s game, with officials citing ball control issues.
- On Sunday, Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson had a diving 15-yard catch ruled a touchdown on the field but overturned after review by the NFL replay center in New York.
- NFL replay officials said the catch process was incomplete, with Mark Butterworth, NFL's vice president of instant replay, noting broadcast-enhanced shots showed the ball hit the ground before Hockenson regained control.
- Hockenson protested the reversal, saying `There was nothing to overturn it,` via ESPN, and multiple on-field referees told him they had signaled a catch, leaving him visibly upset.
- Following the reversal, the Vikings lost 28-22 as the Eagles burned the clock, and Minnesota's offense never saw the ball again.
- Coach Kevin O'Connell seeks clarity on officiating decisions as Minnesota readies for Thursday; he said Sunday he did not get an explanation for the Blake Brandel holding call that forced a field goal.
