He didn't have time to establish himself and he clearly lost the ball going to the ground. By rule: Incomplete. Yet somehow they said he established himself with two steps and Eifert didn't with 4 steps!
Exactly what I was thinking and made a post about last week. The league is so inconsistent with this rule and interpret it differently near the goal line. I am okay yesterday stating the KC receiver had possession because he had established himself as a runner, but putting that side-by-side Eifert's play in Baltimore is maddening. Not only did he take 3 or 4 steps but he turned up field to reach the ball over the goal line. Total BS call. Officiating in the NFL has gotten terrible. No, it's always been terrible, just now more terrible!
