He doesn't have control as he's sliding out of the endzone with the ball out-of-bounds.

End of story.

/thread.

Exactly, even if the ball never touches the ground, he's laying out of bounds when he has full control. So he's out of bounds. Even the announcer clearly pointed that out.

Note: If a player has control of the ball, a slight movement of the ball will not be considered a loss of possession. He must lose control of the ball in order to rule that there has been a loss of possession.

HE HAD CONRTOL WHEN HE FIRST CAUGHT IT. HE WENT TO THE GROUND AND WHEN HE HIT THE GROUND THERE IS SLIGHT MOVEMENT OF THE BALL WHILE STILL BEING POSSESSED IN HIS HAND/S. HE NEVER LOSES CONTROL OF THE BALL IN ORDER TO RULE THERE WAS A LOSS OF POSSESSION.

NOBODY ON HERE CAN STILL SHOW ME HIM LOSING POSSESSION. JUST SHOW ME ONE STILL SHOT OF HIM WITHOUT THE BALL!

Dude, it's clear the ball is moving. You must be joking.

Define 'slight movement'...

Seems like movement in one's hand would fall under that interpretation.

Anyone who thinks this was a catch needs to see an eye doctor. Ball was moving around as Dez was sliding around on the ground. Once the ball quits moving he is already out of bounds. It wasn't even close.

I don't need to define "slight" movement. It wasn't slight movement. It was clear movement. He had to re-grip the ball and that was clear as day on every replay.

I sometimes wonder if we all watch the same game.

He controlled the ball until his right elbow touched the ground, COMPLETING THE PROCESS OF THE CATCH. He was, at that point, down by contact. There is no existing definition of a completed process in the NFL rulebook other than down by contact.

Therefore: The NFL cannot write a rule that removes this second CATCH by Dez.

The end.

It wasn't even close to being a catch. You have to have procession, in bounds

Go ahead... LOL. ROFL... SMH, whatever you need to do. Everyone can see that the ball movement occurred after the process of the catch was completed, the defender touched him, he was down by contact. The NFL has no written rule that states what they are illegally enforcing. Dez caught it, again, per NFL rules as written.
