The NFL is micro-managing the definition of a "catch". If the ball doesn't touch the ground, it should be ruled a catch. Period.

No dispute that was a "football move" per se but when a player is going down after making a catch, control must be maintained through the end of the play...by the letter of the existing rule that was not a catch. Its a bad rule but it is what it is.
