Apparently that 9 yard catch was a first down. They must have changed it during the timeout or something.

Oh well, still. Bucs win. Skins lose. :)

Further explanation.

Seems as tho people are saying that the chains weren't stretched out 10 yards on the first down play. So the 9 yard catch crossed the chains on the side of the field the refs checked, and they called it a first.
