Vincent: Likely TD reversal may have been wrong

NFL Executive VP Troy Vincent has suggested that the replay reversal overturning Isaiah Likely's touchdown against the Steelers may have been incorrect.

Vincent told Mark Maske that the Likely play was among a handful of replay rulings the league office has had second thoughts about. The overturned touchdown came with 2:47 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Week 14 Ravens-Steelers game.

Vincent explained the confusion centered on what constitutes the 'third act' necessary for completing a catch. If the touchdown had stood, the Ravens would have won the AFC North. Vincent acknowledged most problematic replay reviews occurred during the early Sunday window when multiple games are played simultaneously.
