NFL rulebook,and commentary...

RULE EIGHT,ARTICLE THREE,SECTION FIVE,READS IN PART,AS FOLLOWS:if a pass is caught simultaneously,by two eligible opponents,and both players 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 control... major problem is that M.D. Jennings had ball in the air for an interception,and when the referees got over to the pile of players,Golden Tate had both hands on football,along with Jennings,with Jennings on top of Tate... it should have reviewed,and reversed,but it was not reversed,so the Packers lost game... the key words for the Packers' fans were,"in the air",because had Jennings made a football move(process of making the catch,going to ground with control of football),instead of wrestling Tate for the football,the second part of the rule would have applied,and the interception would have counted...
