keep the clock stopped? Maybe he thought he had more space from the defender, but still should have gone sideline to save the time. Just looked to me like he was trying to make the first step before he secured the catch.

Just curious. I didn't play receiver, so I don't know, are you taught to come back to the ball rather than wait for it, cause I have been under that impression. Just from watching football for years I feel I've heard many commentators say that. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Genuinely asking
