You can't expect the ref to anticipate that the Dolphins are going to contest the call therefore making who recovered the fumble a point of interest. The line judge signaled touchdown, the rest doesn't matter UNTIL the Dolphins threw the challenge flag.

Dolphins' fans can cry foul, but the call was by the book.
