You can see it clearly rolling until his leg came up. His foot which happens to be attached to that leg came off the ground and was off the ground when he finally got possession. He only had one foot in after he gained possession. This was clear and Pereira admitted he saw it rolling.
I just watched it again. You can believe whatever you want, but there's 2 important factors. The first is that is was ruled a TD on the field. I don't fault the ref for this ruling because it's super close even in super slow-mo. The second factor is that even with the slow-mo replay there's no indisputable evidence either way. There's no way a ref worth his salt overturns the call on the field. Hypothetically, if it was ruled incomplete they couldn't overturn it the other way, either. That's how borderline the catch was.
