WHAT IS A CATCH: The NFL still has no idea what constitutes a catch, even after messing around with the semantics of the rule book this spring. Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert scored what looked like a touchdown. Except it wasn’t, and he joins Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant on the list of aggrieved receivers. The NFL clarified the call, but it doesn’t change the fact that the rule sucks.
The NFL bobbles another TD catch
Yes, the NFL is STILL trying to figure out what a catch is, Roethlisberger’s out at a month and everything else from a wild Week 3 Sunday in the NFL.

ROETHLISBERGER OUT: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will reportedly miss 4-6 weeks of action with a sprained MCL. Backup Michael Vick takes over. Pittsburgh does have Le’Veon Bell back now, and he was shredding the Rams defense Sunday afternoon.
ANOTHER TD THAT WASN’T: The Lions recovered Demaryius Thomas’ fumble, and it looked like they scored a touchdown on it. But they didn’t. One of the officials blew his whistle too soon.
EXTRA POINTS: Sunday Night Football also treated us to one of those weird wrinkles in the new extra point rule.
OLD MAN CAM: Cam Newton isn’t old enough to get those calls.
JETS FUMBLE: Brandon Marshall said he made the worst play in NFL history.
ICE UP, SON: Steve Smith is still talking trash.
NSFW: Sex Bear.
SWITCHEROO: Bears burned by punt return trickery.
MONSTER: A.J. Green had another 80-yard touchdown to help bury the Ravens.
TOUCHDOWN TOM: Tom Brady joined the elite group of quarterbacks with 400 touchdown passes.
BURN BABY BURN: The Rams set their field on fire.
RAVENS LOSE AGAIN: The Baltimore Ravens are 0-3 for the first time in franchise history. A few are already wondering about defensive coordinator Dean Peas’ status with the team.
RAIDERS WIN BABY: The Raiders broke a bad streak with a win in Cleveland on Sunday. Best of all, they have all the makings of a winning team.
COMEBACK: Dallas had a 21-7 lead over the Falcons at one point on Sunday, but Atlanta’s offense exploded for 25 unanswered points in a 39-28 win.
LUCKY AGAIN: The Colts overcame two more Andrew Luck interceptions for a comeback win over the Titans. There are some whispers that Luck is playing hurt. They got a little help when the Titans made the worst two-point attempt ever.
SEAHAWKS WIN: The Seahawks got a win, their first of the season, and Kam Chancellor returned. The Bears offense punted on every single offensive drive, but at least they didn’t turn it over.
NO MERCY: Bruce Arians was REALLY determined to keep his foot on the gas in a blowout win over the 49ers. Niners QB Colin Kaepernick, who was awful on Sunday, took the blame for the loss.
GOING EXTINCT: It’s not that the Dolphins lost to the Bills on Sunday, it’s that they looked thoroughly uninterested in playing. Head coach Joe Philbin was talking about magic potion after the game, so go figure.
