It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Since when is the one yard line worth 6 points?The ball to Welker that was initially ruled out of bounds was actually a touchdown. I can maybe understand the refs for missing the call but how could the official in the booth miss it? What if the Patriots didn't score a TD right there? The booth official blew it. That was a touchdown.

Years ago, the goaline extended out of bounds, but that no longer is the rule. Also, I think the pats wanted to run a play quickly in case Welker had a foot out of bounds, since it was so close.No it was not a TD the ball as to cross the plane of the goal line and the only thing that did was Welker's foot he had the ball away from the GL when he was pushed out

When I saw the play I immediately thought it should have been ruled a TD. It would have to be a coaches challenge to get the play reviewed. Booth reviews are only in the last two minutes and after a TD. Since it wasn't ruled a TD the booth can't review it. The ball doesn't have to break the plane of the goal line when the pylon is in play. Example is a WR tiptoes around the pylon but has the ball in the outside hand. Ball actually never passes the goal line but its still a TD.
But they did review it. It went to review and was confirmed a catch by the booth.
It was not reviewed, it was overturned on the field by another official. Since it was not ruled a TD it had to be a coaches challenge.
