JJMs interception
Lets talk this through, Nailor had the ball pinned to his leg prior to the defender grabbing at it, as they went to the ground it didnt hit the ground, did the defender ever clearly take possession away from Nailor as they rolled through the play prior to the whistle? I dont under stand how Nailor possessed the ball first, never lost the ball, that I saw, but yet they called it an INT and they didnt see anything to over turn it?
Did I miss an angle that showed the defender ever having sole possession of the ball prior to the whistle?
I was pretty full yesterday so.... I might have seen that one wrong, but it looked like a catch to me, ugly catch, but a catch none the less.
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.

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.
