Consider it a makeup for the Broncos game last season.

You have to control the ball through the ground, we had the same review in the Pats game with one of Watson TDs where when the ball touched the ground it didn't move and in the Raiders game the ball touched the ground and it moved. That right there is enough to overturn the ruling on the field, if the ball is moving he isn't controlling it. The fact that he straight up dropped the ball at the end of the play did him no favors in convincing them that he had control of the ball. God forbid the NFL has one rule that favors the defense for hitting a guy trying to make a catch.
