James was not a runner, therefore, crossing the plane of the goal was not all he had to do, as if he had he been a runner. He was in the process of making a catch, and thus, has to survive the ground. By the way, I disagree with that, as he did have possession when the ball crossed the plane. But hey, that's the NFLs call, not mine.

Google "nfl admits wrong call." You will see a lot of public statements admitting incorrect calls.

You're denial is sad.  The Steelers reversed TD was a catch and a TD and we all know it, period.

and searching for "NFL admits wrong call" DOES NOT change the wins and losses column.

Come back to reality!

See section 2, supplemental note #2:

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
(1) The ball is automatically dead when it is in legal possession of a player and is on, above, or behind
 the opponent’s goal line.
(2) the player is attempting to catch a pass, the ball is not dead, and a touchdown is not scored, until the
 receiver completes the catch. See Rule 3, Section 2, Article 7.

Why did Jalen and other players hold back talking about the calls?  Because it costs them money.

Telvin paid $10k for his pointing "taunt" from last week.  The same thing that Gronk has done on numerous occasions with no problem.

Yes, publicly you can't speak out against the refs. Teams can, and do, submit "evidence" of bad officiating, and the league also uses that to "score" the officials' officiating throughout the year.
