However, you stated that it's obvious that Jennings has control first, to which I've stated that it's at best indeterminable who had control first, and the NFL's statement given agrees with me on that.

I don't think the NFL is even covering themselves. They made an effort to avoid labelling the call as correct or incorrect.
All their statement did is explain what happened and the decision the ref made.
There is no judgement by the NFL at all as to whether it was the correct call. At least not that I read in that statement.
Edit: the only judgement in that statement is with regards to the blown offensive PI call.
