did it seem to anyone else that the yellow line for first down was in the wrong place on that last drive by piss st? What was that? that guy didn't get a first according to the yellow line and it wasn't even close,but i didn't see the actual marker.does anyone know what that was?

I saw exactly what you are talking about. Sure looked like he was shirt by a yard by the yellow line.

Yes that did seem like a phantom 1st down. Either spot was wrong or yellow TV line was in the wrong place.

Watch the replay. LOS was 32, first down marker (on TV) was 44. Line was wrong on TV. Receiver caught the ball and was dragged back a smidge, ref picks it up and places it about the 42.5 yd line, which is where it was with forward progress.
The result? First down.

Ok thanks. I was going crazy. i didn't understand how this wouldn't be a national story if the ref was literally walking the ball forward, and also didn't have the replay. thanks

The yellow line isn't precise.
