A receiver must have control of the ball throughout the entire process of the catch and survive impact with the ground. Being in the endzone or not is irrelevant. The ball clearly hits the ground while still in his one hand. So perhaps the rule is too strict? That's a different argument.

Yeah, according to the rules the call may be right. But Johnson "caught" that ball and should have been a TD in my mind.
