Ben's optimistic movement of the ball after the play was over was not a factor.

Then why did the ref wait until he ran up and saw the ball after the play to signal a TD. If the ref had saw the ball break the plane, he would have signal a TD long before he did. I can't believe everyone thinks the refs have super laser vision to make these calls and can not be fooled.

Please. Use a little bit of logic. Do you think the replay referee did not see Ben's shenanigans? The call was not based on that. The call was based on forward progress and it is that that the ref used to review the play.

Simple fact: there was not indisputable evidence to overturn the call.
