This is just for informational purposes only, but I found the dialogue of the announcers quite interesting. I was watching the Viking broadcast feed. The Viking announcers were convinced that this call would be overturned and ruled a touchdown after reviewing the replay numerous times. When it wasn't they stated that in preseason games the replay official uses the home team tv feed. This game was being broadcast by both the Raiders and Vikings, therefore the Raider feed was used for replay. The announcers simply stated that it was probable that the camera placements for the Raiders was different than the Viking camera placements. I was watching the Viking feed which had a better angle than the one we have all reviewed...and I will admit that I was a bit surprised it was not overturned (lost a bet with my 11 year old), but agree that it was very "bang, bang" type of play.
