The correct call was made because touchdown was the call on the field and there was not enough evidence to overturn it.

Personally I thought he was in, but my contention is that the play was I believe ruled inconclusive [don't remember] but when the line judge making the determination of whether or not he was in, he ran in pointing to the ground to spot the ball, then once he gets close to Ben when Ben was clearly on the ground behind the line he watches Ben reach forward and stretch the ball across the line, he then rules a TD, how do you make that switch when your first inclination is that he didn't get in? You then wait until he's down and pushed behind the line to call a TD? I believe he got the call right, but had the wrong intentions. You have a clear view of that play, rule it down outside the goal line, to only then deciede after you get to your spot rule that it's a TD, sorry I ain't buying it!
