but that’s a stupid rule....please tell me how it’s a touchdown if he caught the ball at the one inch line and then crossed the plane -but not a catch since he was already in the end zone? And please tell me how it’s a catch at the 20, or the 50, or the 1, but NOT a catch in the end zone??????
No, I don’t have a dog in the fight. Yeah, Dallas probably had it coming after the non call last week against Detroit. It’s just NFL incompetence....double standard for touchdown.

So are almost all “roughing the passer rules.” So what?
>>please tell me how it’s a touchdown if he caught the ball at the one inch line and then crossed the plane -but not a catch since he was already in the end zone? <<
The end zone had nothing to do with anything. He never demonstrated complete control through the entirety of the action and when he slapped the ball on the ground at the end to secure it that was an incomplete.
Even upright if you catch a ball then go to the ground and then loose the ball when impacting the ground before you have complete control, it is an incomplete.
Trust me, you don’t want to challenge the rules with me.
