That is a rule every ref should know. Not a case of the rule book being too big. I am surprised Gruden didn't notice. He usually knows all the details. I had questions when it happened - SEA didn't control the ball, so who gets possession?

Other crazy goal-line plays:

STL vs. TEN Superbowl - TEN stopped at the one yard line with time elapsing

DAL vs. SEA playoffs - Romo fumbles the snap

SEA vs. NE Superbowl - Butler intercepts ball

In 2010, the Calvin Johnson Rule entered American vernacular after Johnson was ruled to have not completed the process of a catch on a would-be game-winning touchdown against the Chicago Bears.
