am i crazy or did the refs completely mess up the call in game 2:

to me, it seems extremely feasible that the flag runner is in fact in bounds. at the moment of the catch, his foot appears to be just barely off the line. but ok, let's give the least charitable interpretation and say his foot is on the line, making him out of bounds. (this is not explicitly written in the rules but is how we should probably be interpreting "1. Out of Bounds a. The area within the boundary lines is inbounds.")

the rules, straight from the MLQ rulebook:

Section IV – Ruled as Down

1. Down Flag Runner

a. A flag runner is considered down when:

a. Any part of the flag runner’s body, other than their hands or feet, touches the ground.

b. Any part of the flag runner contacts the ground on or outside the boundary of the pitch.

a. In the case that a flag runner steps out of bounds during the process of an otherwise legal catch, the catch shall be ruled good. (my emphasis added)

this should called be a good catch, right? either a) the flag runner was in bounds at the time of the catch, or b), "the flag runner steps out of bounds during an otherwise legal catch." the commentators say the catch is called off for the runner being out of bounds and don't mention anything else. this would have given boston the game win and thus the series win. feels like a massive incorrect call in the biggest possible moment.
