He%27d clearly changed his mind and was bringing the ball back to his body -- but that%27s the key. The ball was still moving forward%2C by game rules%3B this was because the ball was not yet totally in his control again%2C so to speak. Basically%2C he was still moving the ball%2C even though it was actually down and in%2C and since he lost the ball %5Bi%5Dthen%5B%2Fi%5D%2C it was ruled incomplete%2C as the motion was considered part of the pass attempt. IIRC%2C if he%27d finished pulling the ball into his body%2C and stopped motion on the ball%2C and lost the ball %5Bi%5Dthen%5B%2Fi%5D%2C it would%27ve been a fumble.%0D%0A%0D%0ABasically%2C the ref made the right call%3B the reason they made the rule the way they did would be to take the onus off of the ref for making judgment calls over whether or not a passer is still attempting to pass.
