I agree, I thought his right foot was caught up in his cleat and never touched - but certainly was not overwhelming evidence to overturn the call.

I was surprised the Harrison call was not overturned. I thought he was clearly down. His forearm hit prior to the goal line and at that point it doesn't matter if the rest of his body landed on Fitzgerald. More surpisingly was that despite how long that 100 yards took to run, the official was still trailing the play and made the touchdown call from about 5 yards away.

The fumble call to end the game was probably 50/50 and certainly would not have been overturned - with that, I still can't believe they didn't take more time, even if only for appearances, to review it.
