Looked to me like he was keeping his knee off the ground, trying to stretch for a TD, and lost the ball.

If his knee hit first, then possession at about 2 yd.

Yeah I do not think it was a TD.

I think the ref that called it at the two yard line or so had the right call.

Sure...but he didn’t get control until he was going to the ground, and didn’t maintain control *through* contact with the ground.

This is a fairly basic and longstanding rule.

It was close, and I’d have preferred it was a catch...but sadly it wasn’t, as the ground punched the ball out of his grasp when he and then the ball hit the ground.

The catch that was reviewed earlier in the game clearly wasn’t, as it rotated on the ground while out of the receivers’ grasp. THAT one was clearly blown, even with replay...though it did take the reverse angle to see.
