This is the best of outkick the coverage with Clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio.

Observed ending to the Steelers against the Patriots, the Steelers should have won this game.

The Steelers should have home field throughout the playoffs in the AFC. The Steelers should be the favorite to go to Super Bowl.

Instead, once more, the NFL's broken rule about what it catches, what it catches not, came back to bite the league right in the ass.

And I think just about every single person out there listening right now, even those of you who are Patriots fans watching in real time said that is a catch that should be a touchdown.

Instead, it was another needlessly complicated rule being applied in a situation where we don't need a needlessly complicated rule.

Watching that game live and watching the play, nobody even knew what exactly they were reviewing initially.

They review every touchdown catch and then suddenly Tony Romo and Jim Nance realized, wait a minute, they're reviewing whether or not he completed the catch.

Now, if you were playing in your backyard with your buddies and somebody made it that play, you would call it a catch.

If you were watching in high school, that's a catch. If you were watching in college, that's a catch.

The NFL has needlessly complicated this rule and created a complete mess. Here is what initially sounded like the winning score for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Ben in the shotgun gets the snap wants to throw it.

Those are the touchdowns of Tessie Joe. Would you believe that the Steelers leap from back ahead with 28 seconds to go?

Is it a touchdown or is it not?

After reviewing the play, the receiver in the end zone did not survive the ground. It's an incomplete bounce.

Pittsburgh's ball second down in 10 at the 10 yard line.

Game flush.

And we'll start on the next now.

If you listen to this show very often, you know that I am not a rules guy. When rules aren't necessary, I think they needlessly complicate the game.

Here again, if you apply the standard of rule that exists in high school or college, and if you apply the standard of rule that would exist in any backyard football game or any pickup to hand touch game that exists anywhere, this is a catch.

There is not a single person in your Thanksgiving in your Thanksgiving backyard football game that would have called that this exact situation had happened in your backyard Thanksgiving game.

You would have called this a touchdown. There's not a single person out there that would have said no, no, no, you didn't complete the control of the ball all the way through the catch.
