Jesse James absolutely had possession of the football as he crossed the goal line. No one touched him is absolutely correct.
I'm not sure why you said "actually" before saying this because I never claimed anything to the contrary. Arguing for or against that rule was not my intention when I responded. Just saying that the idea that "if the ball crosses the goal line, it's a TD", as @dann bunn said, is not 100% correct. Ertz had to become a runner first (which he did) before the goal line was even relevant.
Actually, I didn't mean it that way....Jesse James absolutely had possession of the football as he crossed the goal line. No one touched him is absolutely correct.
