Before that screen shot, he took three steps with control of the ball. NFL rules state two steps in control establish procession. Either the ground caused the bobble on the 1 foot line, or he fumbled and recovered in the end zone for a TD.

And what about the trap that was ruled a completion, extending a Packers scoring drive? Or do the rules bend to your team preferences?

Nonsense. The only direction Dez Bryant was ever went once he made his leap to catch the ball was down to the ground. At no time was his decent from his leap halted. Sure, his legs were still moving under him, but he was clearly going straight down to the ground.

Going down to the ground is NOT a "football move".
