I officiate football (actually it is soccer I officiate but I football friends take my joking good naturedly), but I do have a question regarding the Super Bowl last night.

In the official's judgement the Ravins' player had control of the ball when the ball broke the plan of the goal line and thus the ball became dead.

If the in the official's judgement the Ravins' player was not in control of the ball it would have been a fumble, the ball would have remained live and the second Ravins' player would have recovered it for a TD anyway.

Therefore, what would have happened if the replay would have reversed the touchdown and a fumble had been declared.
Since the ball was dead because of the official signalling a TD, who would have gotten the ball and where would they have gotten it.

It seems to me that when the replay ruled the TD good, it was a good example of if you can't explain it don't call it.
