Jonathan Greenard's Strong Statement: Skycam Interfered with the Game, NFL Must Act Immediately
In a shocking turn of events, the Minnesota Vikings were left questioning the integrity of their game against the Cleveland Browns, following a controversial moment that could change the way NFL games are played. The incident involved a kick from Vikings kicker Will Reichard, which appeared to be perfect but was suddenly altered by an unexpected external factor – a Skycam cable.
During a critical moment in the game, Reichard's 51-yard field goal attempt, which had the potential to tie the game, was disrupted as the ball veered off course. The culprit? A Skycam cable that was suspected to have made contact with the football mid-flight, causing it to miss. This situation has raised serious questions about the fairness of the game and whether the NFL is doing enough to ensure that technology does not interfere with the flow of play.
Jonathan Greenard, linebacker for the Vikings, was quick to voice his frustration over the situation. He stated, “This is not just a minor issue! This game was clearly affected by an external factor – the Skycam cable interfered with Will Reichard’s game-winning kick. They can’t just ignore this and hope it goes away. I’m standing up and saying it: It’s time for the NFL to take action! If we lose because of something outside the game itself, that’s unacceptable.”
Greenard’s passionate words reflect the deep dissatisfaction within the team and among fans who witnessed the incident. While the NFL has yet to respond to Greenard’s comments or address the issue publicly, the moment has raised concerns about the potential risks of using technology like Skycam in critical game situations.
This is not the first time that technology has come under scrutiny in the NFL. In the past, there have been instances where equipment, such as cameras or the goalpost, has been blamed for influencing the outcome of plays. However, the interference of a Skycam cable directly impacting a field goal attempt raises the stakes in this ongoing debate.
With Greenard calling for a stronger stance, the pressure is now on the NFL to reassess its policies regarding on-field technology. Should the league take action, it could set a precedent for how games are managed in the future, ensuring that technology serves to enhance the experience rather than compromise its fairness.
Colts Predicted to Add Physical Defender in 2026 NFL Draft
With this Indianapolis Colts team looking dangerous, they probably won't be drafting early in 2026. But that’s not going to stop Chris Ballard from doing what he does best — hunting value.
As the season progresses, mock drafts for the 2026 NFL Draft are starting to roll out — and a clear trend is emerging. One that Colts fans have been eyeing for quite some time.
CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson’s latest mock draft has Indianapolis focusing on improving the depleted secondary with their 2026 first-round pick. A move that makes perfect sense.
Wilson has the Colts selecting Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy with the 23rd overall pick.
McCoy, a 6’0”, 193-pound junior, was one of college football’s most physical corners before suffering a torn ACL in January of 2025. Even with that injury, he is still viewed as one of the top defensive backs in the nation.
Wilson has McCoy ranked as his number one cornerback prospect and sixth overall player on his big board for the 2026 NFL Draft.
McCoy's the kind of corner you can leave on an island and let him work against WR1s. He plays with swagger, attacks the ball in the air, and doesn’t shy from run support.
And McCoy’s production backs up the tape. Before his ACL injury in January, he posted an 89.6 PFF coverage grade, the second-highest among Power Four cornerbacks for the 2024 season.
He also earned a near-perfect 99.9 PFF Game Athleticism Score, showcasing elite movement and fluidity in coverage.
Opposing quarterbacks recorded just a 53.6 passer rating when targeting him, and he tied for second among Power Four corners with four interceptions and nine pass breakups.
Drafting McCoy would immediately strengthen this secondary, and given the injury, there’s a real chance he slips to No. 23 — the kind of value Ballard is always hunting.
There are other names that make sense for Indy depending on how the board shakes out, including Mansoor Delane (LSU), a senior corner with physical tools and polish. Colton Hood (Tennessee) also stands out as a versatile defensive back who can play inside or outside.
Beyond those two, Avieon Terrell (Clemson) brings elite short-area quickness and fluid movement, while A.J. Harris (Penn State) fits the Colts’ mold with length and athleticism.
Each pick would add needed depth and upside to a secondary still searching for stability.
If the Colts can land a player like McCoy — or any of the top corners in this class — it would mark another step in solidifying one of the AFC’s fastest-rising defenses.
With the offense already clicking, a strengthened secondary could be what pushes Indianapolis from playoff contender to legitimate Super Bowl threat.
