If breaking the plane of the end zone ends the play, what is the difference between the two plays?

A player must have possession when he breaks the plane. By rule, he does not have possession until he completes the catch. By contrast, a ball carrier, assuming he's not in the process of fumbling, has possession as he crosses the plane. That is the difference--possession.
