It was a questionable call, but one that shouldn't have been overturned on review (where there must be indisputable evidence to reverse the call).

its pretty hard to call that a TD in the first place, it was just a straight up guess by the ref

At regular speed I was positive he was in. I never thought there was a doubt, but during the replay you can see his elbow hit the ground and it doesn't hit any paint. That was the hand he had the ball in. He was facing backwards, he wasn't it.
