The game is baseball - the bases are of central importance.
For all of the retardos in this thread - runs are recorded by an ordered procession around the bases, culminating with home plate. You are allowed to move across the bases, unimpeded, if you hit the ball out of play, but you still have to touch the bases. That's how runs are recorded. If you fail to follow these simple instructions an umpire will not signal to the scorekeeper that a run is to be recorded, and if you abandon the base paths, the fielding team can point this out and get you out.
If Reggie Bush runs a 4.3 and gets past the last defender, who runs a 4.4, should Bush have to continue on to the endzone or should we just say, nah it's a TD, stop running?
When guys are about to cross the goal line and they drop the ball before crossing, with no defenders around them, should we just give them the touchdown?
These touchdowns are as sure as a run being scored after hitting the ball over the fence, so why does the ball have to get into the endzone? Because that's how points are scored. If you don't complete the act that scores the points, you don't get the points.
Someone is going to say, 'but the ball is still in play so he has to keep running to the endzone' - yes, that's my point. He has to keep going in order to score those points even though logic dictates that it's a foregone conclusion that he'll get to the end zone. If all the other players fell down injured, would the NFL say, it's an automatic TD, or would you still have to put the ball in the endzone?
You have to touch all the bases in order for a run to be scored. That's the only way runs are scored. Even when the fielding team throws the ball out of the field of play with a runner on 3rd, that runner trots across home plate, because that's how runs are scored.

Excuse me for thinking it's absurd to take a run of the board for missing the plate by half an inch
