Seems like everyone is getting hung up on whether or not he made a football move. You could debate that both ways. At the end of the day, I think they got it right given the criteria in Article 3 above.

Yeah.
And what I'm saying is he made a football move. He already caught the ball and was extending to the end zone, He never lost control of the ball, not even close, he was trying to get more yards,
Now, if you, and anyone else, thinks he DID NOT make a football move common to the game (as the ref said is required), then THAT you need to let us know.
Usually you see these calls when a player is in the process of holding on to the ball ONLY he was NOT he was STRETCHING making A FOOTBALL MOVE!!!!!
They FLUBBED IT plain and simple and should be banned from any more playoff games this season!!
