NFL 1st down measurement

Watched Steelers / Browns game. Measurement for 1st down was done and nose of the ball was short of the pole but past the last chain link. Officials signaled 1st down. Announcers made the typical big stink about it.

Is it the chain links or the pole that is the standard from measurements for 1st down?

If it's the chain, call Solomon Wilcots so he'll shut up about it.

Thanks
