upon the replay of its feed, the camera showed that the line judge began to follow the development of the play when neal had handed the ball off to wycheck. the line judge had moved to the sideline yard marker as wycheck had slowed to position himself to throw the lateral. after the lateral was thrown, the line judge moved again to realign himself with the yard marker, at which he had observed dyson receiving the lateral. because that second position was up field from the point where the line judge had positioned himself when wycheck had thrown the ball, the line judge's hand signaled during the play that the pass was indeed a lateral and not an illegal forward pass. therefore, dyson's advancing the ball to the buffalo end zone after the reception resulted in a legal touchdown. after a long official review, the video was deemed inconclusive to overturn the line judge's ruling on the field.
