It's not a catch, sorry. It just wasn't.

Complain about the RULE ITSELF, all you want. But per the NFL rulebook, it was called correctly. 

The ground cannot cause the ball to move, and he was still in process of the catch when it happened.

The rule sucks, but you're exactly right. According to rule...not a catch because he didn't "complete the process."

Process ends with a football move which
Was 2 steps and a dive towards the end zone. Wake up and also Cobb caught the pass before the half that bounced twice? What are you watching?

Sorry, it does not. This was the old rule, prior to 2010.

The process ends when the receiver's momentum stops, or when he makes a football move.

Thank you. That's what I've been trying to explain. That's perfect.

so 2-3 steps he took and reaching for the endzone is NOT a football move? Dez took 2-3 steps after he caught that garbage and the ball move when he tried to stretch for the endzone

Just glad I was on the right side of the call/spread ("fix" for some of you).  +6 was the play for that contest

Extending the ball toward the goal line qualifies as a football move IMO

what game were you watching?? it doesn't matter what he was doing to get that 2-3 steps. He made 2-3 steps, as he was reaching for the endzone, his elbow hit the ground making the ball move

Everyone avoiding the big factor...his opposite elbow was down prior to the ball going loose. Down by contact had possession etc......horrible call.

Stretching the ball to the end zone is a football move

Receivers nowadays "Don't Secure the ROCK" after they catch it!
Great Catches in history were made in Playoff Games…
If Dez ad put BOTH hands on the Ball & just PLOWED his Million Dollar Forehead into the Turf?
1st Down & Goal to go…but He was thinking I have to SECURE the Ball….
5 Cent Head!!

Do you think they f'n guessed when they looked at it in the replay booth.  That call was made because that's the F'n RULE.

He took 2-3 steps, he stretched, and he had a knee down with full possession. You obviously don't know football.
