Maybe they do. And that's a field judge or side judge down there instead of a wing.

But it only appeared to me, at first viewing, as if there are two officials covering the play, one with end line responsibility and one with sideline responsibility. One should have feet and line, the other possession, in a perfect world.

Again, we weren't privvy to their discussion or rationale and likely never will be. But you'd think that if there are two guys right there, they have a better look that we could on a web video that I tried to download but couldn't.
