Jesse James: Was not touched when he lost the ball. Ball was not fully controlled. Gesicki caught the ball with 2 hands, brought it in to his body.
Hunter Henry: Has it, didn't pull it in.
Chiefs: Clearly the ball came out on the hit before he was down.
Texans: I would say the ball was out of bounds when he landed. Very close.
I'm unable to listen to the videos because I'm at work, so my reply may seem silly. But all were pretty close.
The audio on at least two of those has the head official coming in and saying "The player must survive the ground and maintain possession of the ball. Incomplete pass." This rule is outlined as follows...
Quote:If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied ©, contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds
You have to survive the ground, man. Gesicki didn't. It's been this way for years.
