I don't think the call was incorrect. Cruz wasn't going to the ground in the process of making the catch. He came down with the ball and Allen then started to tackle him and that is what forced him to the ground. Before he hit the turf, he stretched the ball over the line for the TD. It's a stupid rule and open to too much interpretation, but I think it was the correct call.
The error was not reviewing the play. They are supposed to review every scoring play and the ball popping loose is more than enough to warrant a closer look.
Wrong. Go watch it again and pay attention to hit feet. He only got one foot down meaning he had not established possession until his elbow hit the turf. He is certainly going to the ground at that point meaning he has to maintain possession throughout. Had he got both feet down initially, you might be right, but he did not.
