I don't think he had posession long enough. He made that one last juggle before he hit the ground and the ball hit the ground also.

On the course!
If you don't think that was a catch, you are stoned. I have the ravens, too, but come on!

He bobbled it at first, but clearly had both hands on it, and one was even under it, pulling it into his chest, when he hit the ground. How can you pull the ball towards you, without having possesion of it?

thought it was a catch too

thought it was a catch too

I mean how long does he need to have it, IMO he skidded 2' with ball in control and not until the raven jostled him did he lose ball ... he was down by contact and clearly had ball ... in reg speed impossible call, in replay not so

I didn't think it was a catch. He was bobbling the ball until right before he hit the ground and then the ball came in contact with the ground. They changed that rule this year and the player must have complete and obvious control (something like that) if the ball touches the ground AND he must maintain control - the ball can't come loose. There was a similar instance in a game yesterday when a receiver had a ball then hit the ground out of bounds and the ball came out and they said no catch because of the new ruling.

Hell of a catch by Heap there.
