Take two steps and that is a football move and a catch, roll with clear possesion twice and that should be a football move and a catch but until they change the rules it wasn’t a catch because he was still moving when he lost possesion, stupid, yes, sucks, yes, correct call, yes. If it weren’t for IR though, apparently you can lose possesion less than 5 feet away from an official staring at you and still have a touchdown. Hard to believe that even had to be reviewed(Falcons/Saints)

Are correct with a running play as soon as the ball breaks the plane play is over. Now the Ward catch 2 things i want to point out.

!. it was something of a freak incident you can’t possible have sub definitions for every rule for every conceivable variation that might fall under said rule. The NFL can not start making exceptions unless the receiver has rolled 2 times already because then they have to start making other exceptions. Like the force out rule to vague before it was needed to make it simply 1 foot or 2 feet regardless.

2. Several posters cited Troys interception as an example and IMO it doesn’t apply. As cited the NFL did after the fact say that it was the wrong call should have been interception and then fumble. The other difference was Troy lost control of the ball while getting up from the ground he had maintained control through the entire catch and fall to the ground thus it was an interception he then fumbled the ball in the continuing action after.

Except for “How much do you think the Browns will win by this week?” I’d avoid that one.

Browns game, not Brown’s game. And I’m a grammar policeperson, too.
