1. Tate essentially admitted that it was not a simultaneous catch, and that he didn't catch the ball. He said he later took it away, which is also not accurate.
"Did Jennings have it first?
Jennings: "Yeah, most definitely."
Tate: "Maybe he did, but I took it from him."
2. The ref, who said the following, has no clue. Jennings ended up lying on his back on the ground when he came down. Jennings had his butt and legs lying on the ground, and the his back lying on top of Tate. The ref doesn't think one's butt and legs on the ground, is "a body part on the ground"?
"You have to not only have the ball but have either 2 feet or a body part on the ground, and that never happened."
3. The NFL didn't even say the initial call was correct. They said there wasn't sufficient visual evidence to reverse the call.
4. Here's a conclusion/analysis by one commentator, which I agree with. "Therefore, the rolling around on the ground part of the play doesn't matter because Jennings already had control of the ball when Tate finally got both hands on it.
Therefore, the rolling around on the ground part of the play doesn't matter because Jennings already had control of the ball when Tate finally got both hands on it.
"Therefore, the rolling around on the ground part of the play doesn't matter because Jennings already had control of the ball when Tate finally got both hands on it." And Jennings was already lying on the ground, or his butt and legs were.
