If he was in the field of play, that's a catch. He maintained possession, even when the ball shifted it was still pressed firmly against him. The point is, to every fan watching that play, they think it's a catch because no time did he drop the ball or really loose control of it. Seriously, the rule needs to change.are rules that hard to understand?
It's clear as day. You must maintain control TO THE GROUND. The ball was coming loose as he went to the ground.
Hate on the rule all you want, but by rule that was clearly a no TD.
I agree, this is the kind of **** that makes it hard to keep watching.
The rule is the rule, but in this case it's almost bewildering why it's the rule. If Fleener had caught the ball against his wrist and held it there it would be a catch. But because it slipped from the first location to the wrist, now it's the equivalent of a drop? Simply doesn't correspond to any common sense understanding of what a catch should be. Of course this is far from the first time we've seen something like that.
