Look at it again. Jennings has 2 hands on the ball clutched against his chest with 2 feet on the ground. Tate has 1 hand on the ball against Jennings chest. You tell me who qualifies as having possession FIRST, which is what matters.

Wrong, Tate touched the ball almost simultaneously with his left hand as jennings made the interception. Now, you can see the ball IS NOT touching jennings' chest yet, but tate has his left hand inside between his chest and the ball, and his right hand closing over the outside of the ball. At this point they both have posession, and the catch by both has to be maintained through them falling to the ground...which happened. Its not as complicated as everyone is making it, it WAS simultaneous posession...and the rule states that the offensive players wins posession in that case. Why is this still up for discussion world wide? lol does anyone else watch football unless the packers or patriots are playing? I've seen this hundreds of times before as I'm sure any other football fan has, plays out the same way everytime.
