One other thought
REPLY I forgot to mention one other thing. In both codes, this appears to have nothing to do with momentum. If the ball was in the field of play when the knee hits the ground (that's the way I saw it) then the ball's dead there...no momentum. The fact that the runner then slides into the EZ is interesting but of no material significance in this play. If the official is signalling TB (which he is), he's ruling that the catch was completed in the EZ, otherwise he'd be dropping a bag at B's 1--or wherever--and signalling TO when the ball eventually becomes dead. He would not be signalling a TB in such a case. The only way momentum figures into this is if you rule the interception completed in the field of play, but the ball not becoming dead until it is in the EZ.
