James, by rule at the time, didn't do either. It was a bad rule and impossible to determine what was a catch or not.
There was a play with Germaine Gresham in 2011 against the Ravens that was somewhat similar. He hadn't established himself before crossing the goal line and when he went to the ground, he lost control of the ball and it was called incomplete.
that reminds me of the tyler eifert touchdown in baltimore that the refs ruled incomplete
I was at that game
