Obviously it wasn't clearly otherwise they would've overruled the call on the field that it was a TD.

It was a TD. The players head, not shoulder, hit first, and from all angles that they provided, it appeared that the ball broke the plane. There were no 100% conclusive angles or shots to prove otherwise.
