Once a runner crosses the plain it's a TD there. If the balls knocked out its not a fumble.

Once OBJ had control of the ball and 2 feet down play should be over and should be a TD

But to be a runner you have to have control of the ball first before you cross the plane, right? Otherwise, you are in the process of a catch, and you must complete the catch.

If OBJ hadn't left his feet, I would agree it was a catch. But he didn't.

I don't get the knighting for OBJ on this play, there are plenty of awful examples (Dez, Johnson, various others) that the OBJ play shouldn't be a rallying cry for change.
