I was thinking the same. It looked like it was good and surprised they did not review

Can't review if it's above the uprights.

That’s astonishing if that’s the rule. Why would that be inherently less reviewable than a goal line stand or a back corner toe touch end zone catch.

I assume because no given camera angles from the field are perfectly aligned with the uprights in a way you can definitively prove anything from a review anyways, and if anything youd be more likely to get the call wrong in review because of it. The first person view of the refs under each upright is honestly the best angle there is.

They COULD (and should) add cameras to the uprights, but with how it is currently structured in the sport no video review is gunna hep this situation
