At first glance, the ball didn’t seem to cross the first-down line after Chrisitan McCaffrey ran the ball on third-and-1 in an attempt to give his kicker a chance to beat the New York Giants on a long field goal. The Panthers’ running back charged ahead as outside linebacker Alec Ogletree grabbed him and pulled him backwards, but there was no measurement of the ball on the games most important play.
In fact, Cam Newton rushed to the line of scrimmage and spiked the ball on what seemed to be 4th-and-1, but the officials had indicated a first down with no measurement or review of the spot.
