already secure, so what would be the point. The second hand could be better used to cushion his fall and prevent the ground from dislodging it? Someone should track down Chase and ask him directly. (No they shouldn't)

If he had tried to reach with his other hand, he would have missed it completely

Or been out of bounds w twisting motion to get 2 hands on it

If he didn't have any hands, it would have been even harder to catch

No way. Slovis threw too high and too fast. Amazing he got even one hand on it

Stretching high and back with 1 hand is easier than with 2.

Watch it again. Chase goes up with both arms but then has to drop one in order to extend the other far enough.

Had he rotated his body in order to get both hands in the same spot the ball would have sailed right past him.
