Yeah I might be wrong but it literally looked like they picked up the flag they initially threw on that too? I think I remember the flag display being on the screen for a bit before the fans started booing and it went away...there has to be press conferences for refs or something similar

No, it was so clear it was P.I. to everyone except the 25 refs on the field that ESPN threw the graphic up assuming it was called correctly.

Also had the ref cam going for 20 seconds waiting to get the call

The ref was just sitting there like “really? Are you positive that wasn’t PI? Sure looked like PI from 40 yards away. Ok I guess”
