The refs wanted it to be a TD because they were in favor of the Steelers

How was it proven? Did they show the ball actually breaking the line. All the replays I saw weren't conclusive and since it was not ruled a TD, it shouldn't have been overturned. I've seen commentators take both positions but that just proves it wasn't conclusive.

They had a special camera with a super zoom lens and different angles that proved the ball broke the plain.

Yeah, it was a touchdown since the ball did break the plane, but a lot of you thought it was a TD only because the receiver had "2 feet in the endzone and possession," which is what the ref explained, but is obviously wrong to people who understand the TD rules.

Correct call, but for the wrong reasons. Which is probably better than being wrong altogether.
