JJMs interception

probably going to have to agree to disagree on this one.  I think it was a screw job.   think of it this way,  if that receiver had a preferred logo on his helmet,  is it still an INT or is it a catch and down by contact?
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

In the NFL, "possession by a receiver" refers to the legal and complete act of a player catching a pass, which requires securing control of the ball with his hands or arms, making sure he has two feet or another body part on the ground inbounds, and then maintaining control long enough to become a runner. A player also demonstrates possession by performing an act common to the game, such as tucking the ball, taking another step, or turning upfield after meeting the first two criteria.

I also think Nailor should have been able to make a clean catch on that throw with better effort.  I wasn't drinking, but I only viewed it a couple of times as well.

I just don't see that Nailor had clear possession of the ball when his knee hit...and certainly he didn't have possession when his knee was subsequently on the ground.
