Once you have possession in the endzone, the play is dead. Establishing when possession occurs is the debate here though so yeah, it seems stupid

As soon as both of your feet hit the ground in the endzone, as long as you still have possession, then it's a ****ing TD. It's complete and utter bullshit that you have to check off 10 different things to catch a TD but the line of the endzone goes on forever and it doesn't matter if you're hovering above the out of bounds.....it's a TD if you cross it.

I think if Harris puts down two feet, steps out of bounds and then the ball gets knocked out it is ruled a catch
Maybe I am wrong, and fully believe incomplete may be the right call, I just wish they could better define something that likely can't be more clearly defined. I also felt like the defender didn't even attempt to displace the ball until two feet were down. He was the only one touching the ball, the ball was not moving, and he put two feet down. After that happened the defender successfully knocked the ball loose |

Why is it always Harris that Alex is looking for in those situations? I see Harris and Travis in that gif. Where in the **** is Kelce?

In such a tight space there isn't much wiggle room and your stars are going to be keyed on. It's almost genius to look to the 6'6" back up TE. |

Lets not dwell on this. Nothing can be done to change it anyway. I would bet every ref in the league would have called it exactly the same way. The way the rule is written they made the correct call. Sucks because the NFL has overdefined what a catch truly is.

Leaving it wide open for ref interpretation like that is asking to be hosed

As soon as that ball hits his hands, he has CONTROL of it. At that point, he just has to establish POSSESSION by getting both feet down, which he does when that right foot taps the ground. He clearly maintains possession throughout that catch. The DB rips it out after what should have already been called a TD. |

From my view, he had the ball controlled with both hands with two feet down. The defender's hands were intertwined with Harris' hands and he was pulling him to the ground. The fact that he was pulling him to the ground make the "complete the process" argument null. He had complete control of the ball in the endzone.

He definitely could have made a football play except their hands were intertwined. The DB made no play to dislodge the ball until he had put two feet down I know the point is moot, but I think it's an interesting point of discussion |
