It looked to me (fan who doesn't know the rules) like the guy caught it in the end zone and had full control before the defender swatted it out.
What's the application of the rules on that play? Curious....btw I was cheering for the Pats 
Thanks in advance! |
It was not a TD because the ball was knocked loose just as the left foot came down, and therefore did not meet the requirement for retaining possession for an element of time.
