As the football world continues to debate the catch rule that played a huge part in the Pittsburgh Steelers' eventual 27-24 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, head coach Mike Tomlin said he expects the discussion to carry on in the offseason.
"I think that we all can acknowledge that all of this needs to be revisited," Tomlin told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "It's not just this play. As a member of the committee, I acknowledge we have our work cut out for us this offseason regarding a number of those things."
After an incredible 69-yard reception courtesy of wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster set the Steelers up deep in New England territory, a 10-yard touchdown catch from tight end Jesse James was overturned after officials deemed James didn't maintain possession of the ball after hitting the ground.

There have been conflicting statements from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the coaching staff over Pittsburgh's decision not to spike the ball on third down and opt for a game-tying field goal. Tomlin took responsibility for the call, saying his plan all along was to go for the win.
