Appreciate this has been talked about many times before but having watched it again just now it must go down as one of the worst reversals I have ever seen.
Surely when Dez touched the ground with his right elbow then he's down having completed the process of a catch (he had made a football move by taking 2-3 steps after securing the ball).
In any event, I haven't seen any clear and unequivocal footage of the ball touching the ground at any point - part of his arm looked to be under the ball when he went to ground so worst case scenario he has caught the ball in the end zone as Shields didn't mark him down by contact.
People say well Rodgers would have just marched down the field any way - great let's see him do it and it's irrelevant to the above call.
It's still annoying all these years on!
