Looks like a catch and down by contact to me.

As for everyone saying what's the defenders supposed to do? How bout wrap him up? Usually I'm right there with you on these calls, but neither defender attempted to wrap him up regardless of whether he lowered his head.
Completely agree. Both went for the big, body check style hit.

This is where the league is heading. The idea of spearing or dislodging the ball from receivers, on any part of the body, is going to disappear.

Glad that Paul's OK.

On another note, there was no way that should've been a fumble, & no way that should've been Giants ball. They snatched the ball out of his hand.

Not sure its that easy for the defender, have no problem with the flag though. Happened so quick, hard to go lower. If you nail him low you can blow up his knee. Tough situation.

He also really wasn't a defenseless receiver at that point. He was a runner at that point lowering the crown.
