This is the problem with that call. Watching the replay, it is CLEAR that Ben takes the ball into the end zone after he was already downed.

The ball does not have to cross the white. It only needs to touch it. That happened as he was being tackled. When he landed, he did indeed land behind the line but the ball had already touched the white on his way down.

Exactly, it was a little close but it was clearly a TD. The only other call that was close was the pushoff in the endzone; he did push-off but it probably shouldnt have been called. And even so it's nothing like what happened to the Steelers against the Colts. Btw I'm a 49ers fan so I really don't care either way who wins, except I don't really want to see the Steelers tie the 49ers and Cowboys with 5 wins.
