If anything, Tate's is a bit more iffy.
Tate was in the end zone when he caught the ball and he wasn't going to the ground as he made the catch. Once he has control and the 2nd foot down--in the end zone--play over, touchdown.
Eifert was in the field of play as he was gaining possession and stretched the ball out, over the end zone line, as he was going to the ground. Since he was going to the ground with possession of the ball, he has to complete the catch.
