There is not a weaker rule in football than breaking the plane for a TD. Look man, the player and the ball should end up in the "end zone". Little Ben's TD has to be the lamest post season touchdown ever. The breaking the plane interpretation should be reversed. I've seen touchdowns where a player fully extends his arm a good yard, yard and a half, from the goal line. The instant the ball "breaks" the plane, it's swatted away for an apparent fumble, maybe even rolling out of the end zone for a touchback. But wait, some ref saw the nose of the ball break the plane. TD. Football blows.
