The ball does not move, so he has control still, and is down. No fumble.

Oh, and the NFL agrees with me.

Of COURSE it doesn't move in a STILL FRAME. It CLEARLY moves all over the place in the replay. Dude, you could not be more wrong if u tried. We ALL SAW IT. The guys in the booth saw it, the consulting official saw it. All were scratching their heads after the reversal. It was the WRONG CALL.
