Yep.  He made a football move, and the ball crossed the goal line.  It was a touchdown, and anybody who says otherwise is a Patriots fan.  Then again, the Patriots wouldn't be anything unless a terrible call sparked their Dynasty, so this is normal and we should all be used to it. 

Not a Pats or Steelers fan. It was the right call.

I'm not. Like @Bucsfan333 said, if that  play had been on the sideline it would've been ruled incomplete. Don't see why you the same concept wouldn't apply in this case.

He doesn't like the result. Every iffy call that goes in favor of the Patriots is wrong if something

He didn't catch the ball, knee it, and then dive for the endzone in a separate move like you're implying.

It was all one bang bang motion play where the ball clearly came lose and having his knee touch the ground doesn't mean the ball is caught.

 

It's like if Jordy Nelson dives for an out fade from Rodgers, his knees touch the ground as his torso is coming forward towards the ground and he smashes his chest into the ground and then the ball snaps loose.  

The letter of the law is NOT that the catch is complete the second he has control and then knee scrapes the ground.  He has to follow through.

He clearly did so idk what you're even trying to talk about. He catches it, goes to the ground then lunges.
