Marvin Lewis Disagrees With Gresham's Overturned TD

Oct 31, 2014 1:28 PM

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis publicly disagreed with officials on Monday, a day after tight end Jermaine Gresham had a touchdown overturned in the team's loss to the Ravens. The play, which came in the fourth quarter, was reversed for breaking the same rule made famous by Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson last season, with officials deciding Gresham didn't possess the ball through the catch. "It's not even close to the same as the Calvin Johnson situation," Lewis told reporters. Lewis wasn't afraid to provide his take on the play. "Only for clarification. I think Jermaine performed a second act in reaching the ball," he said. "He got two feet clearly down and performed a second act of reaching the ball. "I don't see how you can overturn it, not being conclusive. With the second act, you're talking about a time differential and how long is long enough. In other words, my feet are down in the field of play on one end of the end zone. I've crossed the plane of the end zone with the ball in possession. Now, how long do I have to hold it before somebody can knock me down? ... It's no big deal. It's over. It's not going to change."
