    Game can't end on a defensive penalty, right?

          Offensive coaches, and the way the game has evolved towards offense, won’t ever let it happen, IMHO.

              The catch rule has officially been changed.

              1. Control
              2. Two feet or another body part
              3. A football move

                So basically "going to the ground" and/or "surviving the ground" are no longer a thing.

                Dunno about the definitions of "control of the ball" and "football move" - I suspect we're going to be right back here next year.

                  right. has a guy made a 'football move' if he makes a leaping grab at the back of the endzone, then falls to the ground with possession the whole way, and then the ball gets jarred loose?

                    Why is that your interpretation?

                      "Two feet or other body part" making contact with the ground supersedes "surviving the ground." Guy catches, secures control, makes a forward lunge while losing balance, knee makes contact inbounds, then he completes his fall and the ball rattles loose in his hands but he holds on afterward. That can now be a good catch.

                          but what if he made the grab just leaping straight up and down, falls to the ground and then the ball rattles loose. did he make a 'football move'?

                            I think 99% of the time any sort of lower body movement after he grabs the ball can be interpreted as trying to stay in bounds / get more yardage / etc. If OTOH he gets hammered in the air and the ball comes free on contact with the ground that should never have been a catch anyway.

                            This does seem to clear 95% of the confusion up. I'm as surprised as anyone, but I think The Shield didn't actually make things worse just this once.

                              Is it identical? That would be very funny.

                                What are they trying to capture with this addition? The more I think about it the less it is necessary. If you have control and your feet are in play, why is anything else necessary?

                                Interesting that they didn't take this opportunity to change it to only one foot in bounds. Much better rule IMHO.
