Until recently it would have been a TD, no brainer. But they have this odd rule now that for a completion you have to "complete the football play" or some such gobbledygook. And despite that other rule, yes it holds for scoring plays as well.

Too bad, I hate to see the drooling psychopathic Belly-Upchuck get a win he didn't earn.

You are right. The NFL rules are almost retarded. They let you score on a run if you hypothetically break some molecule of a "plane" with the nose of the football for a milli second. Meanwhile, on a thrown ball, you have to damned near take three steps. Very inconsistent and stupid set of rules that only make things more difficult and controversial than they should be. Shame on the NFL for this self inflicted difficulty.

You couldn’t keep either your team or your coach in Ohio. What’s wrong out there anyway?
