Because anytime a player is going to the ground he must maintain posession of the ball after hitting the ground. Same thing on a catch along the sidelines. Two feet in bounds and posession after hitting the ground.

This is why it was a dumb challenge. If a receiver hits the ground or gets hit, he must maintain possession pretty much until he stands up and hands the ball to the refs.

This is not a brand new rule.

The ball hit the ground and came out, not Colston. Ground cannot cause fumble after possession.
