Right, the Moore play was clearly a different situation - the possessing the ball before breaking the plane as opposed to catching the ball in the end zone. I get that they're different rules, but Moore literally possessed the ball with two feet on the ground for a fraction of a second, and that was (correctly) called a 2-point conversion. Meanwhile, Calvin Johnson possesses the ball for almost two full seconds, comes down and places the ball on the ground to celebrate, and it's not a touchdown?

THe other thing is that if you read this rule in its entirely, one could easily argue that Johnson made the catch.
