The play was ruled a simultaneous catch, but Packers fans, and even some Seahawks fans argue the ball was intercepted.
According to Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 5 of the NFL rulebook: "If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control."
