Before the Patriots lost on one of the most stunning plays in franchise history, there was a game-tying touchdown that was reviewed scrupulously.
Late in the fourth quarter, Raiders receiver Keelan Cole caught a pass from Derek Carr in the back corner of the endzone. The initial ruling on the field was a touchdown.
There was some speculation as to whether or not Cole got both feet inbounds, but the referees ultimately upheld the call and let the touchdown stand.
NFL senior Vice President of officiating Walt Anderson explained the call during a PFWA pool report conducted by ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
