[QUOTE="Iron Lion, post: 465969, member: 5995"] Yeah but I think the problem is that what you're quoting is outside of the "in the air" section. There's also a "going to the ground" section. I agree that Jennings had control first. But there is no catch at the point in time that there is only control and that the process is not completed. "[SIZE=13px][FONT=verdana][COLOR=#000000]Simultaneous Catch. If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]" What that's trying to say is that if Player X completes the process of a catch, and then opposing Player Y gains simultaneous possession, the ball belongs to Player X. You can't just advance the ball by chucking it downfield. You have to have the process of a catch completed before the ball is considered advanced. At the moment that Jennings was in the air with control of the ball, he had not completed the process of the catch and the ball was still not yet advanced. At this point in time the ball was essentially tipped, as it was not possessed and hence not advanced, but had been contacted by a defender. By the time the ball was possessed, there was simultaneous possession, and the ball is awarded to the passing team by rule. The play is deceiving because Jennings had "more" of the ball. In earlier eras it would have been ruled an INT. But we all saw Megatron "not complete the process of the catch," and that is what happened here. [/QUOTE]
