Jones intercepted pass hits sky-cam cable

[Ross12]

I think the wire would be lower because the cameras would have been lower due to how foggy and smoky it was. Needed to get closer to get a good shot.

I’m not sure if they lied as much as bs’d. What evidence do they have? They have certainly spun before

Evidence? They installed the wires and cameras?

Not if NFL protocols didn't allow the cameras/wires at a lower height. I mean they've got a game to play.

Interesting. It does look like it did hit the cable. Could it have caused the interception and altered the outcome of the game?

This is 100% the reason we lost...

Just because the nfl prohibits it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I think we all know that by now.

People make mistakes, things go wrong.

It's happened before several times. Fans are posting of previous instances in other games. Play was called dead

I mean, the possibility is even incorporated into the rule book.

Said literally nobody ever

15ft over the ball my ass... Reminds me of duck hunt. The point about the fog by Ross12 makes sense.

Another NFL pass may have hit a wire, causing an incompletion

A pass from Andy Dalton during "Monday Night Football" either hit something in midair or was one of the worst throws of his career.

A crucial pass by Derek Carr against the Chiefs fell incomplete when the ball appeared to hit the wire of the NBC Skycam

Trailing by one score with nine minutes left against the Chiefs, Derek Carr looked to have Amari Cooper open downfield. But the ball may have hit the Skycam.

I can’t wait for the next excuses for Mac ! What’s next? Mac pass hit air so it slowed down the ball which made the ball hit the defender chest. without air Mac would have completed the pass.

Snowflakes? Windshear?
Stuff happens, chalk it up to intangibles.
Speaking of intangibles, I do like what I see in Bailey Zappe.

Is there video or a still of this or are we just going by ESPN's word? Cause the gif I'm looking at the ball pretty clearly makes a sudden jolt right when it passes the cable

I don't think ESPN could afford to move all its cameras at this point.

 

[VectorPrime]

I legitimately cannot believe people actually thought this happened...

 

[mgcolby]

Doover?

 

[notex]

Didn't ESPN come out and say the cable is 15 yards higher than the ball went?

Yeah, they said 15ft. There are past instances of the ball hitting the wire surprisingly close to the ground, so I'm not fully buying it.
