I thought it was caught beyond the LOS but very close. I probably wouldn't be able to tell without a replay.

I bet you could tell if you were a wing on the opposite side from the down box.

Unfortunately, there is an element of risk associated with really well designed and well executed "surprise" plays, when they work so well, they surprise EVERYBODY.

Maybe (hopefully) the Head Coach advised the Referee of the possibility of using this "special" play during their pre-game discussion, and the crew was ready for it and determined it was pulled off successfully.

Just another couple of examples of officials getting it right.
