This is the worst I have seen
The rule leaves you open to this. How in the world this isn't considered a catch and then down by contact is beyond me. I know it "was called correctly" but that just mean the rule is broken. 3 steps with the ball, on the ground, then it comes out.
I don't have video but there are other bad ones this year: Ben Watson incomplete pass against the Colts where he took about 4 steps and the Devonta Freeman TD that got called back where he ran about 5 yards with the ball into the endzone before he hit the ground and it came out

quote:In that play he did not "take three steps." He caught the ball and was then going to the ground. If you catch the ball in the act of going to the ground you have to maintain it all the way through. The defender pops it out of his hands before hitting the ground (debatable if he was down yet or not) and basically "intercepts it" even though it looks like a fumble.
