my understanding of football at every level is if the attempt is made while in the air, the ball must be secured through the ground. He hit the ground, his hands left the ball, therefore he lost possession...... It just happened that he lost possession into someone else's hands, and not to the ground.

Im not disagreeing with that, my beef as a fan was Denver db made as much contact before ball arrived as buff dbs did on ensuing possession

Yes, I thought the interception call was correct - the WR needs to keep that ball secured and he did not. Not on Allen. But those 2 PI calls were not consistent with the contact the refs were allowing both sides to commit leading up to that drive. And that is the most inappropriate time in a game to make that change.
I agree the PI calls were not that consistant at the end, but blatantly tackling a guy who's beaten you by 5 yards for the game winning TD HAS to be called. The first one was the iffy one, for sure, but it happened on the same play with the late hit to the QB, and thus becomes a moot point, anyway.

When his knee hits or his body?

Plus, unlike college, the NFL doesn’t like to override the field call unless it’s obvious.

We’ll, they’re going to have to find weapons on the draft, cuz their QB makes $55M.
Admittedly I don’t know much about NFL cap gymnastics, but you hear about contracts being restructured for cap relief all the time. They might have to go that route if possible. They’re pissing away his prime.

what screw call? Guy hit ground and ball popped out. If it pops out onto the ground it's an INC, but if it pops into the defender's hands it's not an INT?
It didn’t pop into his hands. Cooks had it db was touching him. He’s down. Again that’s a completed pass 99.9% of the time.

And I'll add that as a Broncos fan, I thought, at first it was gonna be clear shared possession and Bills ball, but on replay, you can see his hands leave the ball when he hits the ground, so the possession was broke before it was established.
