No one hates the pats more than I but that should have been down at the one. He had complete control of the ball with his hand under the ball and was still in perfect control until the ball hit the ground and then came several inches off the ground. As he raised the ball he lost control but the ball stayed on his chest, never hitting the ground again.
I hate the new rules for what is a catch. The old way caused so fewer issues. Two feet down with possession is a catch. The whole you have to go through making contact with the ground and making a football move is total BS and makes me not want to continue watching NFL any more.

Under the old rules, it's not a catch because it hit the ground
 
vikings seriously need to get some pressure, like how patriots are doing vs vikings
 
No way I can believe in this defense to hold up. They’ve shown nothing so far

I don't like the current catch rules, but the rule has NEVER simply been two feet down and possession is a catch. In 1938, the original rule was two feet down, possession AND had to perform an act "common to the game". And in fact, the two feet down wasn't even part of the rule if the receiver was deemed to have had both feet in bounds if but was pushed out. That rule was in place in 2008.
 
I don't even know how vikings only had 2 losses up to this point with this defense
