18. I Think It Was A Terrible Call

This morning, I've seen 3 slo-mo angles.
That receiver had that ball secured with both hands when he hit the ground.
Since they were body-to-body, he was down by contact as soon as he hit the ground.
The defender snatched the ball away after the receiver was down.
Another reply said he was going to lose the ball; after what I saw this morning, I completely disagree. He had control if the ball all the way to the ground. And, the "football" move is irrelevant to a guy in mid-air. The "complete the action of a catch" is a referee's excuse that defies the laws of physics. With the ball securely in 2 hands, the "catch" was completed when he landed on his back.
