Hitting too hard now is literally a penalty in the NFL. Anything that looks somewhat suspect will get a flag.
You can't go back towards your goal and make a hit like that. Warren Sapp nearly killed Chad Clifton doing that in the 90's.
You know, I wondered if they would challenge that.
That should be a completion. He was making a running move well after the catch.
Which means they will reverse the call.
Edit: they didn't. Stunned.

Listening to announcers, even good ones, break down the Byzantine NFL catch rules is so awful, though still better than watching players cough blood.
I sincerely don't want to get into an argument but it seemed clear to me that Fitzgerald took three steps while in control of the ball.
3 steps seems an exaggeration. It popped loose at least once on his way down to the ground. You could make an argument that it was only firmly secured when he was already OOB. On the other hand, you could argue it was firmly secured with the 1st 2 steps before it popped loose.
Green Bay defense coming up huge against one of the best offenses of the regular season. Makes it seem less like a 'strategy' to score so few points in the finale against SEA...
Its true. Meanwhile everyone on Green Bay's side is healthy and they have the added advantage of having played last week too.
