BTW, Brady got away with a grounding call on that 3rd and 10 where he threw down the ball in the left flat when his receiver was on the right flat. That would of made it 4th and 18 and who knows. The calls equal out.
the ball was in the air. illegal contact ceases to exist at that point. it's PI or nothing. it's really quite stunning how many people on this board don't know that.
