JJMs interception

[JimmyinSD]

I get it Jim...but going out of bounds ends the play.  They can then determine whether sufficient possession was achieved.  I think the difference here is that it was still a live play in the NFL's view and could have still gone either way (possession, drop).  The play was still on-going when the defender wrestled it out.

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?

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.

so i wasnt THAT DRUNK I guess.  glad others saw it the same way.

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.

Video link doesn't work for me, but I watched it again and I still see control and "taking another step", despite what Brady says, from Nailor going to the ground and the defender then grabs the ball away after they hit the ground.  At the very least, this is control with a tie on the catch, going to the receiver as Nailor never removed his left hand from the ball.  His right hand went to grab the defender's arm and then he moves that away to brace himself as he goes to the ground.
