I wasn't clear. What I mean was the delay in the initial signal for TD. The conversation itself wasn't the problem.

Good question.
Jeff Lockie pass complete to Royce Freeman for 17 yds for a TD WASHINGTON ST Penalty, Defensive offside ( Yards) declined - ESPN Video
And I think you are right, it wasn't the HL. It looks like the HL comes in and says the pass was completed behind the LOS.
