Found the Devonta Freeman one I mentioned earlier
And for this one, again, he catches it and is going to the ground with it. It's not like he caught it and started running around and then got in the end zone. The gif in that link doesn't show the ball come loose so I can't tell after that..but just from what it shows you can't call that a complete catch. He doesn't establish possession because he's falling as he catches it.
To me, receivers have to understand if they catch the ball as they're going to the ground, gaining possession has to be the priority. When try what Freeman does there or what Dez did in the no catch against Green Bay last playoffs, you're opening yourself up to getting it called incomplete.

Which is the point we are saying is beyond stupid. He clearly caught it and "made a football move" (actually made a few). He became a runner. Who cares if he is going to the ground or not? It defies common sense. So by this rule say Freeman caught it on the 20 and was hit just like he was there and stumbled 20 fricking yards to the endzone and then dropped it after he hit the ground like he did there - incomplete pass according to this rule because he was going to the ground correct?
Again by the new letter of the law we are all adjusting to it was called correctly. But to the point of this thread
