I assume they said no possession and since the ball never hit the ground it was a catch by the Bears' DB off of the WR's body. I couldn't really tell, though.

Yeah, that was no where near a catch. The ball was around his waist with no hand on it when he it the ground, which caused it to pop up in the air

yeah the ball does not ever come out like that if he had possession.

It looked to me like he caught it, started to take a step ("football move"), was pasted, hit the ground, and then the ball popped in the air. At least Jim Mora seemed to agree with me.

to me, he gets popped, he only has one hand loosely on the ball after the hit and pops up when he hits the ground.
