Hunter Henry thought he had his second touchdown of the game, but it was ruled an incomplete pass. 0:33
Hunter Henry's touchdown reception in the third quarter was overturned by instant replay and left him confused.
Henry claimed to have caught it in the locker room. He said it fell down. My hand was under the ball. The hand hit the ground because it was under the ball.
They called. It's got to be lived with.
On the third-and-goal play from the 6-yard line, quarterback Mac Jones threw a pass to Henry, who was covered by the Vikings defensive back. Henry had both hands on the ball.
The call to an incomplete pass was overturned after a lengthy review by officials.
A touchdown would have given the Pats a 30-23 lead at the end of the third quarter. They settled for a field goal. The Vikings scored 10 points in the last minute.
The overturned call was explained in a pool report by the vice president of officiating.
Anderson was asked why Henry wasn't given possession before the ball hit the ground. He has the elements of two feet and control, but because he's going to the ground, he has to keep control of the ball.
Kevin O'Connell thought it would either be a catch just short of the goal line or an incomplete pass.
It's one of those things that could have gone in many different directions. He said he was happy that it went well.
Anderson said that more than one hand on the ball was not enough.
He said that if the ball were to hit the ground, it would still be a catch.
Henry only saw the replay when he was at the stadium to watch the game. He was going to look at it in the film room and try to be better and control the ball all the way through.
There were still chances for the Pats after the ruling, but they were doomed by self-destructive wounds, such as a running-to-the-kicker penalty in the fourth quarter that turned a punt into a Vikings touchdown.
The rest of the game is what we have to focus on. There was a lot of time left. It wouldn't have been a problem if we had punched it in. The outcome is not determined by one call. It's not close because we need to do better.
