Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith set up the first touchdown of the day in Sunday's NFC championship game with what looked like a remarkable catch.
But replay shows that he didn't maintain control of the ball, and the Eagles should have turned the ball over on downs. But officials missed the call on the field, and the Eagles hurried up for their next play before the San Francisco 49ers had a chance to challenge.
The play took place early in the first quarter at the San Francisco 35-yard line. Instead of a long field goal on fourth-and-3, the Eagles opted to go for the first down. They did not play it safe. Quarterback Jalen Hurts escaped pressure and rolled out to his left. He looked deep down the sideline to Smith, who was beyond a pair of 49ers defenders near the goal line. Smith adjusted to the ball then leapt for a one-handed grab before falling at the 6-yard line.
