Agreed. If they're saying the play is over the instant the ball crosses the goal line, then this is a touchdown.
Maybe they should go back to the old rules where you have to touch the ball to the turf while you're holding it. I always thought that looked cool in the old clips, and it would definitely be my touchdown celebration if I was a pro player. Great nod to the history of the game.
