Look at that play a few more times. The football is shaped to bounce strangely and the turf has some bounce itself. The player is wearing hard padding. I would like to see you try the same feat ten times running in and diving for the ball from the same angle and at the same speed with the ball rolling away and others going for the ball, as well, and then gain control before you and it travel a few short feet to the bound line. I'll put my money on the under of five and feel REAL confident.

I'm sorry, but I don't blame him at all for that play any more than an outfielder jumping up to try to steal a homerun ball over the fence and having it careen out of his glove as his arm comes down and hits the top of the wall.
