Regarding the call at the GL with Roth going in for the score. I think we all know the play and this post isn't about whether the call was right/wrong. We weren't there.
Here is my question.
When an official in an NFL game raises a hand is he declaring the ball dead? Is this the same as blowing the whistle?
The replay shows the official coming in with an arm up, then he signals touchdown a little bit later. IF this means the ball is dead, do we have an inadvertant arm?

Don't know about the NFL but in the NF rules book 2.45 Inadvertant arm can only occur when the official forgets to apply deodorant.
