Vikings' TJ Hockenson rips NFL officials after TD catch was overturned

Adam Amin and Greg Olsen reacted to the Philadelphia Eagles' offense coming together in their 28-22 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson was upset with his touchdown catch being overturned in the 28-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon.

Hockenson thought he had a crucial touchdown with 3:05 left in the game. Officials ruled it a touchdown on the field, but it was overturned after a replay. Minnesota settled for a field goal to bring the deficit to six points and failed to get the ball back.

The veteran tight end was adamant that he caught the ball.

"There was nothing to overturn it," he said, via ESPN. "I mean, I was out there. I felt it, hands under the ball, snag it and I don't understand. I don't basically understand the catch rule at this point. ... I don't understand how New York can call in and just be like, 'Yeah, that's not a catch,' when there was no evidence that it wasn't. I mean I had it. I think it's ridiculous."

All scoring plays and turnovers are subject to review.

Mark Butterworth, the vice president of instant replay, maintained in an interview with a pool reporter that Hockenson lost control of the ball when he was on the ground.
