It appeared Allen Robinson would spark the latest is-it-a-catch debate when he slid out of the back of the end zone on what was initially called an incomplete catch Sunday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars receiver hauled in a pass from Blake Bortles with Baltimore Ravens corner Shareece Wright on him in coverage. Robinson went to the ground with the ball and slid out of the end zone on his back, but it was ruled Wright punched the ball out of his possession after he secured enough control.

The incomplete catch call was overturned, and football fans everywhere (except for those who cheer for the Ravens) rejoiced over another catch-rule debate avoided.
