First off, I think the overturned call on Dez was bad but wasn't why my Cowboys lost. Can't win when Murray fumbles in a critical spot, Bailey misses a FG and you don't recover a fumble on Cobb's kickoff. Additionally they could have stopped the Packers and forced a punt after but didn't. That said, here is the official casebook from NFL.com. I feel like it was tailored for this play.
First-and-10-on B25. A1 throws a pass to A2 who controls the ball and gets one foot down before he is contacted by B1. He goes to the ground as a result of the contact, gets his second foot down, and with the ball in his right arm, he braces himself at the three-yard line with his left hand and simultaneously lunges forward toward the goal line. When he lands in the end zone, the ball comes out.
Ruling: Touchdown Team A. Kickoff A35. The pass is complete. When the receiver hits the ground in the end zone, it is the
result of lunging forward after bracing himself at the three-yard line and is not part of the process of the catch. Since the ball crossed the goal line, it is a touchdown. If the ball is short of the goal line, it is a catch, and A2 is down by contact.
