Just watched the NFL Highlights vid of the game. The whistle is audible roughly when the passed ball enters the endzone I think. So a little before Boyd gets his hands on it, but in terms of seconds, not exactly long.
Tbh to me, whether it's the rules or not, the right call was made. Imagine if they had wiped that TD off? Burrow wasn't even close to being out. The whistle wasn't early enough to stop the defender making a play. It had no impact on the play at all. Boyd was open and would've made the catch. It would have been FAR worse a call to have said 'sorry guys, we made an appalling decision in calling Burrow OOB..no TD for you though'.
The shame is that they'll talk about this call, when all the words should simply be about the Bengals winning. We played really well and didn't falter at all. We're so used to watching these guys collapse in big games, but they played good and error-free football.
