You've circled his arm, not the ball, which is up and to the right (the brown thing).

Look from this angle:

Notice that the ball is tucked one end under his chin, as you observed, and the other into his elbow behind the white armband (circled in the last pic). If I can find a better side shot, I'll post it.

OK...but I was just pointing out that the circled area was his arm (the white blob seems to be the wristband).

I think that call was close...could have gone either way.

The really horrid call was that blocking below the waist against Hasselbeck. That was beyond absurd.
