Its also true that a RB only has to break the plane. What they got wrong was that as soon as Eifert caught the ball, turned, and extended it over the goal line, he was making a "football move" with the ball and at that point became a runner. It was incorrectly ruled incomplete.
Thank you for making me feel sane and posting my own thoughts very clearly. Agreed and obviously a difference from other cases of acrobatic or diving catches taking people to the ground. Catch. Turn. Reach over plane. Play is over and nothing after counts.
However, I don't share your confidence that they will admit this.
