That’s not the way they normally make calls in the end zone. The only official with a view of the back line is all the way at the other side of the end zone. There is no way he can be confident the heel is down. The on field call should have been touchdown.
Then let replay sort it out. I have heard this said by “rules” experts on multiple occasions in the past few years. I’m not debating whether the final ruling is td or not. Zach should not have had to use a challenge and risk a time out. His timeout/clock/game situation management is bad enough without the officials making it worse.
