Difference is Tyree didn’t let it spin and shift around. He actually had possession. 

It didn’t move until he went out of bound. Both feet were inbounds first. The professional rules analyst thought they should have kept the call of the field. That just shows how close it was. It doesn’t matter at this point though.

He caught it with his hand and helmet just like Tyree did for the Giants when they beat the Pats.

The difference was Tyree was in the middle of the field (so there was no question about how many feet were in bounds), Tyree's ball never touched the ground, and Tyree's ball never moved when he had it pinned to his helmet.

What I saw was he didn't have control when the first foot was down, meaning the "second foot" became the first foot.  After that, nothing else mattered because the next foot was halfway into the white on the sidelines.  But, as others had said, since he was going down, he had to control the ball through the ground, which he did not appear to do.  So, 1 foot inbounds and by the league's (granted, odd) definition, he didn't maintain control through the ground.

I actually thought it was an easy replay for them.  Now calling it real-time on the field is a completely different story, but the replay from the very first angle looked conclusive on when he had control and the resulting second foot being well out of bounds.  The ball moving when it contacted the ground was just a bonus for them.

They tried to make it a catch, but couldn't.
