I was at the game and MJT is correct, the official just signaled incomplete. I am not a football official but I think if the catch was ruled out of bounds, the official would have waved his arms to the side as well. Since he just ruled incomplete, he didn't have to wave his arms.

Bottom line, they ruled correctly on the play. If you don't like the call, don't blame the officials, blame the league for the rule. Like most controversial calls, the officials are not to blame but rather a poorly written rule that probably needs to be addressed is the culprit. Just my opinion...and it doesn't have much weight since I only officiate baseball and have never worn the "stripes" in my life. Happy New Year and keep working hard on the field!
