Here is the play in question:

After multiple angles the catch was confirmed as a touchdown. Meanwhile, social media is still not convinced.

Good God — it obviously hit the ground. Just say it.

Right call on Njoku touchdown. He caught it against his knee with his hand underneath the whole way.

That clearly hit Njoku’s knee… unless that’s part of the ground now?

The catch gave the Browns hope as they clawed back to within 3 points after the catch.
