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


I disagree here. I watched it at home and paused the replay. After watching it in slow motion Colston NEVER bobbled the ball AT ALL. He had COMPLETE control all the way down. It really wasn't even close to being bobbled, that was why I asked the question. If the reason it was called incomplete is because they are saying he didn't have control going down then I understand (although it is inaccurate) but I was trying to learn more about the rule itself with the ground knocking it out of his hands.

Watched the replay several times and it was interesting. Colston did have control, imo. it was just that he was holding the ball with his two hands extended. when he hit the ground the ball came out. had he been able to tuck the ball more, may have gotten the call. it was close.

Correct. But since he was hit by an opposing player on the way down he must maintain control after he hits the ground. It was the right call.
