The ball has to move forward. It wasn’t a sack fumble, no one hit it out of his hands it was a pass that was suppose to be forward but the ball may or may not of moved forward, it’s too close to tell. The call on the field was fumble just like if a player missed a lateral pass.

Here is the rule: NFL passing rules See Article 1, Section 1. The play was properly officiated. Edit: Billl, you best me to it! Edited June 1, 2020 by BarleyNY 1
