I'd argue Robinsons play was a TD and still do. The ball was caught cleanly, tucked cleanly (per video), WR took two steps after catching it (left foot, then right foot), and the ball was in control as it was taken over the goal line. The ball only came loose after the player went to the ground. In any other play mid field the ground can't cause a fumble.

Refs had the call wrong and the nit wit head ref tries to defend a bad call. I really hope that it's shown when the ball was moving in his hands cause I didn't see it until after the player hit the ground.

My second argument is a RB can run the ball and dive for the goal line and the ball come out of his hands after he hits the ground and it's considered a score. Our WR took two steps prior to entering the end zone, he is now a runner and the ball went over the goal line. score. Different story if WR caught the ball in the air and came down in the end zone and bobbled the ball after hitting the ground however I'd argue he was down by contact in the end zone. TD.
