it means he had possession of the football initially but not all the way through going to and hitting the ground. he needs to keep possession before, while and immediately after hitting the ground if he goes to the ground after the initial catch.
You just answered the debat right there, the refs said it was an incomplete pass, meaning he NEVER had possession. His possession was lost once the ball hit the ground ( becasue he was trying to extend the yardage gained, a defender never knoced the ball out), which should bring in the rule that the ground can not cause a fumble on a completed catch. He never lost possession of the ball once it touched his hands at the 4-5 yard line.
