"It was a catch!" Or maybe it wasn't.

According to the rulebook, Dallas Cowboys COO Stephen Jones admits that Dez Bryant didn't catch that ball against the Packers in the playoffs last season.

"You know, as it turns out, according to the rule, I think the call was correct," Jones said Tuesday at the grand opening of the Dallas Cowboys Club at DFW Airport.

It was reported earlier in the week that NFL officiating, lead by Dean Blandino, had "lengthy discussions" about Bryant's extraordinary play. For anyone that's played football, or to even the average NFL fan, Bryant caught the ball while taking three steps to reach for the end zone.

Catch or no catch, Jones supports how Blandino has gone about his business this offseason.

"I applaud everything that Dean's done," Jones said. "I think he does a great job verbalizing, not only with the coaches and the players, but his officiating crews that he has out there on the field. And I think we're lucky to have Dean."

Even though Jones has admitted that the rules were right, we can only assume that the COO knows Bryant caught that ball. Now if we could just get the NFL to change the rules a little more instead of just attempting to clarify them, that would be great.
