You can't see the ball, and the call on the field can't be overturned unless the video is conclusive.

Exactly. Fact is, nobody can tell one way or another if the ball crossed because there is no good view of a direct angle where it is not obscured by BR's arm. The official made the call and it can't be overturned because there was no evidence showing it clearly did not. That's why the call stood.

Correct. And had the ruling on the field been "fourth down", a Pittsburgh challenge probably would not have stood either.
