What you failed to see was that Tate took the ball from Jennings after they were on the ground. The one ref was calling a INT/TB when the other bozo re came in from a few yards away to call it a TD.

TD’s are automatically reviewed in the booth by the “real” NFL crew.

“Jennings had possession with two hands and with its close to his body, Tate only had a hand on it and his other was on Jennings arm. So there was no “tie””

There is no requirement to have both hands holding the ball. There is a requirement, though, to have both feet on the ground BEFORE it is considered feet on the ground and partial possession of the ball

“What you failed to see was that Tate took the ball from Jennings after they were on the ground. The one ref was calling a INT/TB when the other bozo re came in from a few yards away to call it a TD.”

What happened after they hit the ground is a non issue. Once Tate’s feet came down it was a touchdown for the offense. If you watch the video, it was actually the defender who rolls back and forth to try and take the ball away from Tate after they hit the ground(resulting in the earlier pic on this post) but Tate-even with his one hand, was still able to control come out of the pile with it.

As for the refs, the “bozo” was in fact a few yards away and saw the entire play unobstructed. The ref that blew the call had to come from the other side of the field, had his view blocked by another defender. Watch the video linked previously. You can see him running allthe way from the other end of the endzone.
