They whined about it for about 45 minutes last night on NBC (which is by far the worst pre-game football show out there) and Collinsworth kept showing a picture with a line that clearly showed the ball broke the plane. Then he kept arguing that there was no evidence. Usually Collinsworth is the only with a brain on NBC but he had the evidence right in front of him with the line that he himself drew.
Good call by the refs but you would think that the NFL would have better ways to decide TD's than this.

I don't know. That's very close. The receiver isn't credited with a catch the instant the ball touches his hand. He has to show control and possession doesn't he (2 feet down)? I think when his 2 feet hit the ground, the ball is outside.
There is 'doubt' so the call shouldn't be reversed IMHO.
