We have only seen one angle of the play, the angle where we see Hittner's one-armed dead ball signal, followed by a two-armed TD signal about 2 seconds later.
Is it possible that he felt the runner was short and spotting the ball, however his linesman across the field from him (with perhaps a better angle to see the ball in the runner's arm) who we can not see in any of the replays we have been shown thus far went up with a TD signal, and thus Hittner, yielding to him mirrored his TD signal?
The play did happen pretty much in the center of the field, for both wings to have an equal look at.
Thoughts?

One point I would like to make is that you NEVER mirror a TD signal. You only signal a TD if you see the score yourself...
