Horrible call in Jacksonville

Derek Cox, Nate Washington

With the Redskins leading the Jaguars by three and moving in for another score, Jacksonville defensive back Derek Cox appeared to intercept a pass in the end zone.

The call on the field? Interception. The replay evidence suggested otherwise, with Cox clearly failing to get the second foot in bounds. (It also wasn’t clear whether Cox had control of the ball as he went out of the end zone.)

The Redskins challenged, and the referee inexplicably upheld the call on the field.

The ‘Skins should be livid. Then again, if they lose they’ll be in better position to draft a quarterback at the top of round one.
