Von Miller: “Next year, this Denver Broncos team is going to be scary”
“And I think that’s where you enter Von Miller”

@RSherman_25@RSherman_25 Gene does a nice write up on this. I know you don’t have a horse in the fight but it made sense to me too after I read Gene Steratores write up.
At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.
When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.
For a catch:
A) Secure control of the ball ✅
B) Two feet down in bounds ✅
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.
C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:
If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.
Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.
ILB Alex Singleton on Friday underwent successful surgery for testicular cancer, which was diagnosed last week. Alex is recovering well from the procedure with doctors optimistic he could return to play in the coming weeks pending additional test results.
Our No. 1 priority is Alex’s health and well-being, and we are grateful it appears the cancer was caught early.
