Change the catch rules because it benefited the Eagles. Ban the Brotherly Shove because it benefits the Eagles? What’s next?
So how do we reconcile this: he wouldn’t be granted a catch until he survives the ground. So why is he ruled down once his knee hits (ball short of the goaline) before the he completes that act? Loophole

DeShaun Watson isn’t enough of an upgrade over Jalen Hurts to deal away multiple picks and risk messing with the locker room ramifications of bringing in a guy with a checkered off field history to replace a guy beloved by his teammates. For Russ, sure. Not Watson.
