He maintained control, he was dropped to his knee, and he he fell down, and flipped the ball.  It is not comparable to Edell Shep vs. The Redskins.  Shep fell down, hit the ground andlost control after he hit the ground.Stevens hit the ground with his knee, and at that point, he was down and in control.

MAINTAIN CONTROL is defined by what happens AFTER you hit the ground, not BEFORE you hit the ground.2. Sheppard hit knee first, too.3. He WASN'T flipping the ball. His hand would have to move AWAY from him for that to be the case. He was losing control of the ball and was trying to keep it next to his body/shoulder.4. On a TD catch (in the endzone), the player MUST maintain control of the ball and not lose it at the end.

Again, Boid, you're wrong...on nearly EVERY point.1. MAINTAIN CONTROL is defined by what happens AFTER you hit the ground, not BEFORE you hit the ground.2. Sheppard hit knee first, too. Sheppard tooks 1 1/2 -2 steps and was falling/getting tackled, hit the ground knee first, and then lost the ball after his torso hit the ground. 3. He WASN'T flipping the ball. His hand would have to move AWAY from him for that to be the case. He was losing control of the ball and was trying to keep it next to his body/shoulder.4. On a TD catch (in the endzone), the player MUST maintain control of the ball and not lose it at the end. He's got to come up with the ball still in his control.
