NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino has weighed in with the official ruling on this controversial (and adorable) play featuring a young NFL hopeful and a big, fluffy, white dog.
Blandino getting involved is amusing, of course, but it also highlights what a confusing mess the NFL's catch rule remains.
Also, are we sure the kid had control and wasn't bobbling the ball? Mom or dad might have to throw the challenge flag.
