Watch it in slow motion. You’ll see it’s a catch by rule. Peters actually catches it cleanly. Then takes 4 steps in a very short period of time. Since 3 steps is the qualifier, it was a catch... even though in real time I thought the same.

“c. after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, performs any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. ”

I suppose if “falling” constitutes an “act common to the game”, then he’s good to go. Although, I suppose other things should then be considered too - like breathing, moving, being alive, having two legs, etc.

looking forward to Tua vs Herbert next week

Of course you are. You could be down three scores with 4 minutes left and you'd feel good about your chances of winning 😂😂

Does it count as losing from behind if you get the original call reversed?

Gave up a 1 point lead with 0 seconds left.  A new record I believe.

Good win by LV. Chargers choke again for 700th millionth time. Definitely was NOT a catch. 

[TXsteeler]

The drops tonight

[Blackstar12]

It’s just crazy the Chargers are in similar scenarios almost every week yet never get one bounce go there way.

[SkippyX]

That is a penalty 100% of the time. Deal with it and keep your hands to yourself.

[Jakuvious]

Good call by refs, just a crap rule.

[Bearerofnews]

I dont get how 6'5 and 6'8 dropped perfectly placed fades to the same bum CB covering them both. Fkin pathetic. Chargers keep making garbage players into heroes. 

[TheKillerNacho]

Two bad incompletions from Tua. Cmon!

[Asciimo]

damn refs will not let pittsburgh lose

[11sanchez11]

So what you just pasted is the line that says a third step after catching the ball makes it a catch. THat's literally what I said in the post you quoted. If Peters makes a 3rd step before he loses the ball, then it is an interception. If he lost the ball before 3 steps it's an incompletion.

Herbert deserves a better franchise. This garbage team is gonna ruin him like they did Rivers.
