D-lineman INT on spike attempt

How many R's would catch this on a clock play?  Does anyone have a different call?  Tough to tell with the low-def film if this ball hit the ground or not.

I suspect the defensive lineman was as surprised as anyone!    :!#

I'm not an R every week, but have started working there a couple games this year.  For me to call that an interception, I'd have to be certain that he caught the ball above the ground and didn't trap it.  I think this falls into the when in doubt, incomplete category.  I'm not going to give any cheap/unearned turnovers.  From the film, it looks like he may have made one heck of a play there.

Looks like he trapped it, and it hit the ground to me.  I am not 100% certain, but when in question...

that reminds me of when I coached and would teach my guys to swat the snap.

That was my thought, too.

If it touches the ground, it's incomplete
