In a game on September 24, 2012 on [[Monday Night Football]] against the [[Seattle Seahawks]], Jennings appeared to intercept [[Russell Wilson]]'s final pass, but the officials instead ruled that Seattle Wide Receiver [[Golden Tate]] had simultaneous possession of the ball and therefore it was ruled a touchdown. Because a scoring play cannot be overturned in replay on grounds of possession, the call was upheld. Seattle won 14-12. The play has been referred to as the "Touchception". In addition, it has mockingly been said that "This is the only game where a quarterback got credited for throwing a game winning interception." <ref>{{cite web|last=Rovell|first=Darren|title=Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers|url=http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8422934/seattle-seahawks-vs-green-bay-packers-disputed-mnf-call-shifted-150-250m-bets|work=ESPN|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref> |
