No vid, but they'll show it again on ESPN at some point, I'm sure. A legit call: Watson was held for a good 6-7 yards after going 5 yards downfield.

the tough part to take for Baltimore was that Watson wouldn't have made the catch anyway: he was triple-teamed.

Watson was held for pretty much the ENTIRE ROUTE he ran. I think some people questioned it because they didn't see it occur when the camera cut to him in the EZ - but it was a definite hold, and if it HAD occurred in the EZ, it would've been PI b/c that would mean it happened with the ball in the air. It didn't. It happened earlier than that AND FOR A LONG TIME. It wasn't even CLOSE to not being a hold.
