Tie goes to the receiver every time. Never heard about the "first to get a foot down" part of it.

By rule, I guess it is first to get foot down.

Same here. I just assumed the first with the foot down only established that it's a completion, not necessarily who had possession.

On a so called simultaneous catch, the ball goes to the first player to have possession in bounds unless it gets stripped prior to being down.

Which the strip part is what I think Eric Reid got, considering he gained possession, it seems, before the primary receiver was down in the 9-6er
