I don't know what game you people were watching, but the ball was clearly into the white line before he was down. Watch the stinkin replay people.

Pittsburg fans will see that he clearly broke the plane. Seattle fans will see that he was clearly short. The replay could be seen either way, which is why the call in the field stood.

The Steelers would still have punched it in for a TD on fourth-and-half-an-inch even if it was overturned.

The ref didn't signal touchdown until after he ran forward and saw where where Ben had scooted the ball forward after he was down. Shades of Vinny Testaverde!
