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

Even if Graham was slightly short of the yellow line, he had probably already crossed the real marker anyway.

The strange part about the whole situation is that after the play was confirmed for a first down, the official came on the mic again before the next snap to say that “additional footage” came into the replay booth, but that footage did not overturn the play.

The other thing to keep in mind is that this throw was made on third down, so even if the officials had called it short, the Packers could have easily picked up the first down on fourth and what probably would have been inches.

Let’s just say that some Seahawks fans were not happy about the call whatsoever, and took to Twitter to express their emotions.
