You keep bringing this up and I hadn’t said anything before but I will now. By rule of the NFL catch law it was not a fumble. When I saw it live I thought it was but once I saw it clearly in slow motion there was no don't in my mind that it wasn’t a fumble. There has to be a 3rd step or clear football move. Bills defender made a good play and knocked it out as he was putting the ball away before he turned around or took a 3rd step. I know the rule is weird but that rule is why it wasn’t a fumble. If the defender had gotten there a split second later and knocked it out then it would have been fumble. The announcer even agreed it was most likely incomplete during the slow mo replay.
