[@user-xs9yk4ly9o]

It doesn’t even matter where Dyson’s foot is. All that matter was where the ball was at when he caught it and it was clearly just behind the plain that the ball was thrown. If you watch, the line judge immediately signals that it was a lateral while the play was going on.

[@BJ-jh5is]

One of the most controversial plays ever and bills fans say it’s a forward pass and Titans fans say it was legal

[@mikea1989]

Im a fan of neither, but it didn't go forward. When he releases it the ball it is about 2 ft past the line and when the receiver catches it it is probably a foot and a half past the line. It just looks forward at first because when he throws the ball he is one side of the line and when the receiver catches it he is in front of the line. But the only thing that matters is the line that the ball travels, which is not forward at all. Just bitter Bills fans that think otherwise

[@howardhart2389]
