Here's one of the two. See for yourself.

Dang man, sure looks like a td to me ...
Does the red oval outline the position of the football?
Look at the pic dude. Either Ben has guns like a little girl or you just cut his bicep in half. Blow up the pic and you will see his white jersey to the left of your red line and then, poof!, a brown football.
Seriously, go ahead and do it.
Sorry, but I rooted for Pittsburgh and IMHO…BEN R did not make it over the ‘plane’.
Seems Ben was carrying the ball lower (around his stomach area (as he approached the goal line, and before Bettis went down to the right of him)...then as he fell down he raised it up to his sternum area.(which what this pic sets forth). And just a nanosecond later from the above pic time frame, the Seattle defender's helmet/shoulder blocked the ball from the goal plane. Ben raised the ball over the goal line after he was down...but that was/is never disputed.
But the official eventually ruled it a touchdown and from the replays it could not be conclusively overruled...hence the call stood.
As I said I was rooting for the AFC/AFC North/Pittsburgh...
Yet is seems that we have a continue divergence of opinion all over the country on this play (among so many others). Still, it should be worth something when the involved player questions the subject touchdown.
FROM FOX Sports.com
Roethlisberger told Letterman that he didn't think he scored on a controversial play in the second quarter that put the Steelers ahead for good 7-3.
Roethlisberger dove toward the end zone but didn't appear to get the ball to touch the goal line. But officials on the field signaled touchdown. "I told Coach, 'I don't think I got in,'" Roethlisberger told Letterman. "But we were getting ready to go for it on fourth down anyway, and I would have run it again. So we would have found a way to get in."
However in other continuing news….
