You can see the ball slightly shift as well. It wasn't much, but he touched it.

I've watched both angles at least a dozen times closeup on a large screen tv and keep pausing it.  The angle that you are showing is 100% worthless because the finger in question is ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BALL.  If I'm standing half way behind a fence, you have no idea if I'm waving at you or giving you the middle finger.  You have to look from the other side of the fence to know.  In your video, you can't see space between the finger and the ball because that space is on the other side of the ball.  If you look at the play from the other angle, there is always grass between his hand and the ball.  The finger that you keep obsessing over begins moving prior to the ball getting there.  He's moving his fingers back to prevent himself from touching the ball.  It's simply impossible for there to always be green grass between his finger and the ball if he touched it.  Not only is there not enough evidence to overturn the call, but I consider it irrefutable that he didn't touch the ball.  Good call by the refs.

This video is too compressed so frames are missing. The slowmo shot on TV shows the finger moving backwards. It wasn't clear though because the NFL refuses to make the broadcasters update their cameras. Everything should be 4k and high-speed cameras. The way his finger moved doesn't happen unless the ball hits it but no way to clearly tell.
