Super Bowl LII: Eagles vs Patriots Game Day

Yep.  They called it the way instant replay was set up:  There has to be conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field.

And the game winning TD was NOT the same as the Jesse James TD.  Ertz was a runner when he dove.  (Different from the Dez Bryant play too.)

I still think JJ's hand was under the ball, or at the very least it was close enough to not overturn, but still completely different than the super bowl play.  And the right call.
