As I saw it...Bryant’s left foot comes down on the five yard line...Bryant carried the ball 4.5 yards to the goal line. That should have been his, ‘football’, move...It should have been ruled a catch...If not a catch, a screen play from the end zone where the catch is made...the receiver then runs the length of the field, falling down just before the goal line and the ball comes loose as it hits the ground...under the logic used to rule Dez’s catch an incomplete pass, one would have to rule that the screen play pass was an incomplete pass as well...
The rule doesn’t say if he goes 4.5 yds it is a catch. It states quite clearly that a receiver needs to maintain control AFTER hitting the ground. And he didn’t. It really is that simple.
