NFL Football

I watched the Pittsburg- San Deigo game and something happened. There was a kick off from the Chargers and the Pittsburg player caught it. Then the Chargers kinda ganged up on the receiver and it looked to me like they kept him from going to the Ground. A Charger took the Football away from the Receiver and ran for a Touchdown. But what I did not understand was simple in that the Receiver was stopped but was held from going to the ground and consequently was unable to hold on to the ball. If the Receiver was stopped and was unable to get to the ground then the ball is stopped and there is no fumble or the ball could not be taken away from the player. Pittsburg actually won so in the end it did not make any difference but if a player is stopped then all the ganging up on the Receiver should not have being able to have the ball taken away from him. It looks like I am going in Circles but it just did not look right. Oh well Don
