The San Francisco 49ers fell to the Miami Dolphins despite a late-game rally and an opportunity to at least tie the game up and send it to overtime. During San Francisco’s fourth quarter effort to get in the end zone and tie things up against the Dolphins, the officials ruled this 18-yard Colin Kaepernick pass to Jeremy Kerley incomplete.
Jeremy Kerley’s toe-tapping catch kept 49ers’ final drive alive
The ruling on the field was reversed after review.
Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
This is, however, a catch. The refs got it wrong in real time, but after review, the ruling on the field was reversed.
Kerley brings the ball in, gets both feet down, and controls the ball all the way to the ground. There is always some confusion surrounding what is and is not a catch in the NFL, but reversing the initial ruling on this was the right call. Kerley caught it.
The catch kept the 49ers’ final drive alive, but Kaepernick was unable to get into the end zone on the final play of the game, and San Francisco lost to the Dolphins, 31-24.
