KC/Arizona replay reversal

Did Refs Miss Call on Crucial Travis Kelce Fumble? | Bleacher Report

Thoughts?

Mike Carey was the officiating expert on this game, and said rather matter-of-factly that this would not be overturned and the call on the field would stand. Then they immediately reverse it.

I have two issues here:

1. The ball does move before he goes to the ground, but from everything I've read and heard, the ball can move without a player actually being judged to have lost control. On top of that, Kelce goes to the ground and rolls over with the ball re-secured in his hands while he is laying on his back, then the defender slaps it out of his hands.

2. The NFL's "clear recovery" rule is a joke. The officials blew the whistle for the runner being down by contact. Of course the Chiefs' #13 (Nearest to the play) is going to stop playing and not go for the ball. Why would he?

I just don't see this as "clear and convincing" evidence that this call should have been overturned.
