That hasn’t been a catch in decades. Some of you watch football during the season, right?
The thing that is frustrating with that rule is that had he held the ball and been tackled right there, it is a catch without getting a third foot down or whatever they called it. So why can't it be a fumble?

I know, it has been the rule, but the rule sucks.

But being tackled to the ground would have been the completion of the catch.

Handed Andy the time for him to challenge. The refs are just glorious.

They also called a delay of game the second the clock hit zero, which never happens. Ever.

I think his foot was still in contact with the ground when he regained possession.

Catch.
