How can a defender be allowed to dislodge a ball when the WR is already out of bounds and then rule it a no catch? The catch rule has always been a joke. Nobody knows what a catch is and apparently a defender can make it a no catch well after the play is over now.
You have to have the ball securely when going out of bounds. You see lots of juggling acts or, rather, balls not securely in the WR's hands or away from their bodies when catching balls on the sideline where they get 2 feet in and stay on their feet.
When you're going OOB either in the endzone or sideline and are going down to the ground you have to have possession of the ball in your hands or against your body when you hit the ground. Bills LB made a good play and you can see the ball being dislodged. That play happens both so very fast as well as pretty blind sometimes that you don't necessarily get the correct call on the field in live action.
When I first saw the replay I did not agree with them overturning the call but after watching exactly what they were talking about another 3-4 times it was a correct call.
