He caught the ball. He possessed the ball(tuck). He made a football move with the ball(reach). The ball crossed the goaline with possession. When the ball touches the plain, its a touchdown, play is over.

Its the same bullshite call that was made against Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant. fricking stupid.

Not necessarily

Per Mike Pereira:
"Look, here is the rule. If you’re going to the ground you have to hold onto the ball when the ball hits the ground…Going to the ground trumps lunging/reaching to try and get extra yards or score a TD. You do that at your own risk. It’s incomplete…just ask Dez"

And the NFL wonders why no one watches their shite product anymore. Their stupid "what is a catch and what isn't a catch" rule is one of among a thousand reasons why the NFL sucks arse, and why no one wants to watch it anymore. It gets worse and worse.
