It\u2019s a question that has plagued NFL fans and analysts for years, and Week 5\u2019s matchup between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots added another chapter to the saga.<\/p>\n<p>The Miami Dolphins took down the Patriots, defeating their AFC East rival by a score of 15-10. It almost wasn\u2019t, though, thanks to the right heel of Polk.<\/p>\n<div id=\"qcmgidgb\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A Heel\u2019s Difference<\/h2>\n<p>The Patriots had an opportunity to go ahead with 1:02 left on the clock, and rookie wide receiver Polk looked like he secured the lead for New England on a TD catch. While Polk did get a toe down in bounds, his right heel ended up on the white of the boundary, making for a rule-of-law out-of-bounds catch.<\/p>\n<p>The replay booth buzzed, the refs huddled, and ultimately, the call on the field stood: incomplete. No touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>The momentum, so tantalizingly close for the Patriots, evaporated. The nail-biting finish that seemed inevitable never materialized.<\/p>\n<div id=\"qcmgidgb2\"><\/div>\n<h2>Confusion Reigns<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cNo, the game kept on going, so we didn\u2019t get any (explanation).\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2013 Brissett, clearly frustrated with the lack of clarity on the call.<\/p>\n<h2>Dolphins Grind Out the W<\/h2>\n<p>Even with the win, it was another ugly performance for the Tua Tagovailoa-less Dolphins offense. They managed just enough to squeak by, leaning on Jason Sanders\u2019s right leg for three field goals and Alec Ingold punching one in for six.<\/p>\n<h2>The Heel of the Matter<\/h2>\n<p>For those who missed it (or want a rules refresher), here\u2019s the breakdown: Polk\u2019s left foot landed in bounds, no question. But as he took his next step, his right heel grazed the white boundary line while he still had possession. And therein lies the rub.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL rulebook states the following, under Rule 3, Section 2, Article 7 (Note 3): \u201cIf any part of the foot hits out of bounds during the normal continuous motion of taking a step (heel-toe or toe-heel), then the foot is out of bounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"qcmgidgb3\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s a rule as old as time (or at least as old as the forward pass), but one that often sparks debate. Was it a catch?<\/p>\n<p>Was it the right call? The debate rages on, adding fuel to the already fiery AFC East rivalry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; What is a catch?
