The main question is why on earth did he think he could extend the ball with only three fingers, and not fumble? I know you can hold a ball with only three fingers, but most people can't do it while diving and being tackled.

I really wanted this not to be a fumble and I can see why some people think it's not. To me it looks like his thumb is not on the ball at the half yard line. Only two fingers on once side of the ball is fumbling the ball. Plus there is a lot of ball movement during the transfer to his left hand. It's easy to say that was the beginning of the fumble, and he never gained possession back. I can see why it was overturned.
