Because anytime a player is going to the ground he must maintain posession of the ball after hitting the ground.


Really, but the ground cannot cause a fumble. He had posession but the ground knocked it out his hands. I'm not bitching about the call, I just really wanted to understand the rule better. Posession was definetly established so I was just curious why it was called incomplete.

correct, once the ball is controlled by a player. Colston did not have complete control of that ball while in the air

I was at the game and the other coaches were telling Peyton to put the flag up, then Brees talked him into it. Brees can talk him into anything.

It didn't cause the fumble. It caused the incompletion.
