The first photo is irrelevant due to the angle ...

the second?

When did Ben have laces stitched onto his arm? lol

Are you kidding? You think that three-inch wide patch of white is laces on a football? The whole point of the previous photo is that it proves that it is Ben's white wristband on his arm, not laces on a flesh-colored football.

"The first photo is irrelevant due to the angle ..."

I understand what you are saying but I disagree. It's difficult because of the angle but when you break it down you see that the plane that is broken stems from the part of the goal line that continues off the bottom edge of the photo. The part of the line that you can see is actually to Ben's right. Project the plane from there would be incorrect.

I felt sure that the ball had broken the plane before, now I know it did.

The first photo provides context for the second. In order to believe your analysis of the photo you posted, you have to refute the positioning of the ball in the QBs arm (as shown in the first photo to clarify the second).
