It's in his hands and then he's able to shift it to one hand and extend it. He's in control of the football, he got both feet down and he made a move common to the game. I think he met the criteria for a catch before the ball hit the ground and the impact forced it loose.
... that's understandable but there's a reasonable argument to be made that he did. I don't think this is a clear-cut case of the rules being enforced properly.
there's also the question of whether the replay showed indisputable visual evidence that warranted changing the call on the field. I suppose that comes down to the official's judgment regarding what constitutes "an act common to the game". I think shifting the ball from two hands to one and lunging for the goal line should qualify but i understand how this "process rule" can be interpreted differently.
You're welcome.

Ridiculous.

If the Indy punt returner had possession, Dez definitely had possession. This is why so many people are pissed.
