All one can do is shake their head. He had the ball in his hand for two or three steps.

I played it back in slo-mo on my DVR. He did not hold the ball for two steps. the ball was loose just before the second foot landed.

It was a good call.......and I wanted the Ravens to win.

Reminds me of the Redskins from the ‘70s when Mel Grey(?) bobbled the ball in the end zone. I don’t remember if it was a catch or not but it was a blown call.

No. Caught the ball, first foot hits. Defender hits ball and it was coming out of the receiver's hands just before the second foot hit. He did not have control when the second foot hit.

At first look I agreed with you but upon further review, the pass is incomplete. I think the receiver knew it.

Watch the youtube video (link above), from about 26 seconds on during the slow motion replay. Catch, right foot down, but at what looks like the exact same time his left foot comes down the ball is coming out.

In order to overturn the ruling on the field the video "evidence" has to be indisputable. This isn't, can't say for certain he still had possession of the ball as his left foot comes down. So the ruling on the field stands. Had the ruling been a TD, I'd say the video wouldn't have been sufficient to to overturn that either.
