reviewing officials thought the ball "broke the plane" BEFORE it hit the ground.

The most telling part was the the Head Linesman came running in from the sideline with his right arm raised (indicating ball down outside the end zone for our non-hardcore fans), then suddenly changed his mind well AFTER the play and called touchdown. I agree that the replay did not show enough to reverse the call on the field. But, IMO the call on the field was suspect.

It is arguable that the ball crossed the plane while BS was in the air, but clearly when he came down, it was well short of the goal line. But that is not one of the calls that I am mad about; I am mad about the pushoff call on DJ, and the holding call on the Stevens catch at the 2 yard line. Those were the game-breakers.
