I thought the player should have been down at the goal line because he was down and the ball had not broken the plane. But I guess that doesn’t matter on a pass.

Either way, the last play of that drive was a dumb, ego centered play by Ben. The smart play would have been to passed off towards the sidelines to at least give them the field goal.

All in all, I was ready to shoot the Pats secondary. Their defense sucked.

Very true.

He was not touched by the defense so he could walk run or crawl until he was touched down.

The receiver was not down by contact so his knee touching the ground was immaterial. He actually lunged to the ground unnecessarily. He could have tucked the ball away and stepped in.

I think Elbow specified that he wasn't touched, so the knee down doesn't matter.
