So I must not understand the rules correctly because my thought was there was a catch, there was a foot in bounds, and the ball crossed the goal line.....which is a touchdown.

The fact that anything happened after that seems irrelevant.

Isn't the play over when the ball is possessed in the end zone?

What if the ball was rushed into the end zone and then taken away?

What if the receiver had the ball and then crossed the goal line before it was stripped?

I don't see why the play wasn't a TD as soon as his foot dragged in the endzone while it was in the receiver's hands.

Looking for an explanation if you can help.
