Redskins' Cousins takes issue with catch rule

Kirk Cousins counts himself among those confused by the NFL's catch rule.

After leading the Washington Redskins to a 20-15 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the quarterback watched the Pittsburgh Steelers-New England Patriots game and was baffled by the ruling on the Jesse James would-be touchdown catch.

"I'm not satisfied with it," Cousins said to Scott Allen of the Washington Post of the league's catch rule.

"I don't understand the rule. If that happened in our game, I would understand based on precedent that's been set that that's not a catch and it wouldn't catch me off guard, but I wouldn't understand as to why. I wouldn't know the reasoning. I guess I just don't know the rule enough."

Cousins added he still remains confused by a call on a reception last season.

It appears to be a popular refrain that even those that play the game don't understand what is and isn't a catch.
