except that people who actually know the 'rule' know that once you've gone 5 yards downfield, you're no longer 'in the act' of making a catch. Therefore, you're a ballcarrier. Therefore, the ground can't cause a fumble. Therefore, it's a completed pass.

Sorry you are wrong about the way the rule works for a receiver catching the ball. He was tripped and falling to the ground. Whether he took two steps of 5, 1 yard covered or 4, while falling.

Players have caught the ball inbounds, immediately pushed out of bounds, falling 2-3 yards off the field and ball pops out = incomplete pass. Seen a bench knock a ball loose, incomplete.
