That is my point as well, they were not fighting for it as soon as it touched his hands. He had control, put two feet down, and then the ball was ripped out. There is no question if he had immediately stepped out of bounds after the two steps it would have been ruled complete, so how is it getting ripped out after he made two steps any different?
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
