Rothlisberger really put that ball in the end zone all right, Not!

That's the one call I think they actually did get right. The ball ever so briefly crossed the plane. At least there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call. However, the offensive interference and "phantom" holding calls were atrocious, and you can't review those calls. And the timing of those calls couldn't have been worse.

"The ball ever so briefly crossed the plane."

The NFL's Competition Committee needs to change this rule of the ball breaking the plane constitutes a TD. Bring back the days when the football had to physically end up in the endzone. This would enable the defense to use the sidelines for what it was intended...as the 12th defensive player. Instant replays seem to revolve around whether the ball had broken the plane.
