This call was basically the anti-Alstott call. Based on physics alone Alstott's arm could not have been in, even though no one could clearly see the ball. Based on PHYSICS ALONE, Ben's arm with the football SHOULD have been in even though no one could clearly see the ball.
The correct call was made because touchdown was the call on the field and there was not enough evidence to overturn it.
