Down by 12.5, 1 ppr.
Hopkins catch would have gave me 6 points for yards, 1 pt for the catch 6 pts for the td. And 2 pts bonus for a 40 yard + td.

Thanks NFL

He was out or at the very least close enough to being out that it was a reasonable call

Eh, they should have let it play through if it is remotely close so that these things can be settled with replay.

I realize this picture makes it appear that he was put, bit when you look it it from the sideline his heel never came down and you can very clearly seen grass between his foot and the sidleine. When I saw this pic I thought he was out. But, after seeing the other angle, there's no doubt he never touched the sideline. I can see why the ref trailing the play blew the whistle because of his point of view.

White shoes obviously means you can't tell that he's out and the play should have resumed

I believe this snapshot is at the 36 yard line whereas the sideline shot you are referring to and that they talked about on sportscenter is around the 45. If you watch the video closely, the sideline shot of the photo above was blocked by the head of one of the coaches, so this is the only angle we have. It's not a very clear shot, but he does appear to be out.

It was definitely too close to blow the whistle with any conviction at all, and the play likely "stands" on replay if he scored a touchdown. But I do think he was out.

I was actually referring to the video from the sideline. Every step he took had green between the shoe and the sideline.
