Umm it’s not about “losing control”

He could have laid on his back with no one touching him batting the ball in the air playing hot potato with himself. If he ends up with the ball it’s a catch even after “losing control” because he wasn’t down.


none of this is true. He loses control on ground, the whole catch is null and void. i don't care for rule neither, but that's the rule.

But why isn't the play over once the ball crosses the end zone?

“Losing control” applies only if the ball touches the ground.

For instance - you could run a route, get to the endzone and lay on your back, the qb could throw the ball to you, you could bat the ball up with your right hand and then catch it with your left all while on the ground and it’s a catch because you weren’t down and the ball never hit the turf.

I mean these are 101 rules here.

So the NFL needed CONCLUSIVE evidence to OVERTURN a called touchdown.

There isn’t any. Your best picture can only infer it, leaving the call to stand.
