Meaning a play that was a touchdown, but should've been ruled by an
interception. Or vice versa.
A term coined by Twitter parody account @NotBillWalton .
As time expired on
September 24th, 2012 on a MNF game with the Packers facing the Seahawks, Seattle's QB Russell Wilson dropped back for a hail mary. The score at the time was 12-7. The pass was intercepted by Packers defensive back M.D. Jennings. As Jennings fell to the floor, Seahawks receiver Golden Tate attempted to steal the ball from Jennings. Tate had one arm
on the ball, while Jennings had complete possession. The replacement refs, who had blown plenty of calls before this play, called it a touchdown reception by Golden Tate. Even after review, it was called a TD.
@NotBillWalton had tweeted shortly after, "Touchception!"
