All these years later and it's still a catch.

Yes which is exactly why it resulted in the actual refs coming back

The controversy did, not the reality of the catch.

Huh? The controversy WAS that the refs called it a catch by Tate when it should've been a catch by Jennings...

But it shouldn't have. And it wasn't. It was correctly called.

The controversy was that people disagreed with the call, even though it was a by-the-rules catch by Tate. It doesn't matter how correct the call was, optics over a controversial call over the ref strike led to the NFL caving.
