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.

@Eringob53035384@DylanEveryday@RoHutson The bye system did change. Now it’s just top 4 based off of rankings get a bye. The original tweet was just saying pointless because there’s a chance it’s 1v2 in the B10 championship game. Loser will still be top 4 and get a bye
The 16th street murderer is 24 year old ELIJAH DAVID CAUDILL.
Unsurprisingly, he has a long and violent criminal record. It looks like he was out on a $100 bond (so $10?) for a SEXUAL CONTACT-NO CONSENT charge from Jan 2024.
Saturday and Sunday ELIJAH killed two innocent bystanders and stabbed two more.
Saturday:
16th & Tremont 5:12p
16h & California 5:15p - Deadly
16th & Lawrence 5:54p
Sunday:
16th & Market ~8p Deadly
The woman killed Saturday at 16th and Cali was a flight attendant for @AmericanAir who was here exploring the city on a layover.
American re-routed their accommodations out of Denver to a hotel by @DENAirport
Mayor @mikejohnstonco is about to spend half a billion dollars to revitalize a vacant and unsafe downtown. No one wants to #visitdenver

"The Oregon Ducks got absolutely hosed." 😅
@joelklatt says the one team that deserved the most favorable draw in the playoff actually got the worst draw in the playoff – and that's not right. 🤔🤷♂️
@JoelKlattShow I think what needs to happen is the 5 conference winners are guaranteed a playoff spot; but no guaranteed bye. Those 5 teams are in. From there, the rankings and top 4 getting a bye are based off of the CFP final rankings of the next best 7 teams to round it out to 12
