Seriously, it's the dumbest fucking rule in football. If you control the ball and make a football move, it's a catch. If you have the catch, by those rules, and then reach for the goalline, it's a touchdown as soon as it crosses the plane.
... If the guy falls to the ground and the ball hits the ground and moves slightly after all of that has already happened, you basically retroactively did NOT catch the ball.
