Did The Officials Call Right On Jimmy Graham’s First-Down?

The play was initially ruled a first down, so the officials would have needed to see conclusive video evidence to overturn the call.

If the play had stood, it was probably going to be the last play of the game, as the Seahawks were out of timeouts. The officials looked at multiple angles during the review.

These two shots are probably the most conclusive of all of them. Notice how much of Graham’s body, including the ball, are past the computer-generated first down mark (as known as the yellow line).
