I don't have a problem with the rule. I just disagree that the rule applied to this situation. It's meant to apply to someone who is going to the ground as they're making a catch and lose the ball as they hit the ground or roll over, like the way Calvin Johnson did.
Eifert caught the ball standing up - Not going to the ground, took a couple steps, then was hit reaching the ball over the goal line as he was being tackled to the ground. Ball comes out after crossing the goal line. Should have been a TD at that point.
It's totally different that the Calvin Johnson and Dez Bryant situation.
