He caught the ball two feet down, pushed by defender, lands on his hip, left hand touches out of bounds/on the ground. Then the ball hit the ground. Anyone who watches football know that was a catch. Wasn't like he lost control. He had possesion. Just a bullshit call

It a BS rule, not a BS call. They called it according to the rules.

What sucks is it totally looks like he just let go of it because he thought the play was over and the catch complete. Other receivers wouldn't have put one hand out like that to brace their fall. They'd hold onto the ball with both hands and just hit the ground. Two feet in, maintain possession even if hitting the ground = catch. Anything else = not a catch.

thats what i was thinking. he let go of the ball thinking it was a TD.

it should have been.

Clearly can't be an interception! The process, the process! He didn't carry the ball all the way to his coach on the sideline, isn't that the rule this week?!?!1?!one!?

lol he just has to keep ti from hitting the ground while in the "process" of catching it.

this was not a catch. the one in the bears game could be/should be called a catch though.
