from NFL.COM:

Touchdown: When any part of the ball, legally in possession of a player inbounds, breaks the plane of the opponent?s goal line, provided it is not a touchback.

Possession: When a player controls the ball throughout the act of clearly touching both feet, or any other part of his body other than his hand(s), to the ground inbounds.
--------------
The receiver established possession since he established control of the ball throughout the act of him catching it and 2 feet touching the ground. The ball was in possession by the player in the endzone = Touchdown.

The problem I have with it was the fact that the NFL already came out and said the refs have been instructed to not overturn a call in a challenge unless is it is just absolute clear cut call.
I can almost see why they could have called that incomplete if that was the call on the field but IT WASN'T.

I have always said and always will.
Replay doesn't work so why use it and it slows down the game(big time in college).
