[QUOTE="Twangers, post: 1492317, member: 746185"] No. You have to establish full control of the ball. If you don’t complete the catch, which Josh did not, you don’t establish control. He either has to complete the catch through the fall to the ground or he has to make a football move, like an additional step or two steps, to establish control which would have made his losing of the ball at the end a fumble caused by the ground and thus a TD. Obviously, the officials and the guys in the booth didn’t see his second step as a football move. I’m clearly speculating, I wasn’t in the booth to hear the thought process but I’m guessing they viewed it as nothing more than the momentum of his body falling forward as opposed to a football move. Again, iffy call. Would have been very difficult to overturn after the call on the field was incomplete. We likely lose that challenge. [/QUOTE]
