2.) TWO TIMES, a KC receiver is hit as he is making a catch and loses control of the ball when it hits the ground. According to the NFL rulebook:
Item 1. Player Going to the Ground. A player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete
What am I missing here?

I believe the KC receiver had 3 steps before he was hit. He was a runner, not a receiver going to the ground. I think it was the right call.
