Mcrowder, I may be picking nits as you say, but intercepting is catching. It means to catch an opponent's pass or fumble.
As I said, I would use the momentum excetion to rule on this play, even though the letter of the exception, and related definitions do not support this specific play scenario. Perhaps we need a definition that says stealing the ball is the same as recovering a fumble, and the momentum exception could be edited to incldue this act.
