Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers was not happy with the NFL's replay review team on Sunday.
Rivers threw an incomplete pass that was changed to an interception after review. The veteran said no player on either team, including Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters, who was credited with the interception, actually believed that Rivers had tossed a pick.
“It’s gotten so jacked up about how the catch rule is,” Rivers said, according to Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “Nobody that’s played any amount of football or been around the game watched that and thought it was a catch, including the guy that dropped it. But you can slow it down to milliseconds and you can make it a technicality about three feet touched the ground, even though somebody that’s sitting back, watching, probably hasn’t thrown a football in his life gets to call it.”

Despite Rivers' comments, Peters actually said he thought it was an interception, disagreeing with the Colts QB, which isn't surprising.

The Colts ended up losing to the Ravens 24-10, but the game probably could've been a little closer if the NFL didn't rule Rivers' incomplete pass an interception.
With the loss, Rivers and the Colts dropped to 5-3 on the season while the Ravens improved to 6-2.
