I'm honestly just as or more confused about the TO they randomly gave to the Raiders after an entire play came and went with 0 whistles blown or anything called by the refs. Literally every single person/ref on the field thought the play was live except for the Raiders player trying to call the TO.

Just because you signal for TO doesn't mean it's instantly granted and the ref did absolutely nothing to indicate he gave it to them.
