You are not considering forward progress.

If he had stretched out while falling and the ball crossed the plane it would have been a TD, as it was it is clear in the replay his forward momentum was stopped even while his teammate was tugging on him. This occurred before he stretched out. He was never down by contact with the ground but that isn't required.

People are complaining about the whistle but the whistle doesn't stop the play it is the indication that the ref has made a decision the play ended. It technically ALWAYS comes after the decision is made.

Whistles are in the refs mouth. As soon as the ref decides the play is over he blows the whistle. He doesn't decide the play is over then put the whistle in his mouth.

You are basically taught since rec football to play until you hear the whistle. Everyone followed that except the ref.
