By rule in order for a fumble to occur the ball carrier or in this case the defender must have possesion of the ball. Now, if you go back and look he is clearly bobbling the ball as he goes to the ground. In order to have possesion of the ball you must come down with feet in bounds. Now in cases where a player is diving or falling to the ground while trying to catch or intercept a live ball you MUST maintain possesion of the football all the way to the ground. Which he did not do. I agree the officiating in this game was terrible, but this is actually a call they got right.
