I don't consider that one controversial because at that time, you always had to establish yourself in the field of play, as a runner, in order to get the benefit of the ball crossing the goal line, coupled with at that time, having to complete the catch "through the ground". James, by rule at the time, didn't do either. It was a bad rule and impossible to determine what was a catch or not.

There was a play with Germaine Gresham in 2011 against the Ravens that was somewhat similar. He hadn't established himself before crossing the goal line and when he went to the ground, he lost control of the ball and it was called incomplete.
