Question about the Championship game instant replay

He doesn’t make that decision. There is a replay official who reviews it and tells the ref the decision

But Ted, why does he look at the replay (uses a remote to move the film) if he is not making the final decision?

They looking at the same replay the booth official looks at while the booth official relates the information and decision to him. You never heard the announcers saying “here comes the call from the booth or replay official?”

Sadly it's a fumble as long as Tom Brady doesn't do it. Then it's the "Tuck Rule".

Okay thanks

I thought it was an odd scenario if he reviewed his own call

The White Hat is watching the same thing the Replay Official is watching .....Multiple views, not just one. The White Hat has to determine ball position, yards lost or gained after the Booth gives him the decision. Multiple things happen on the sidelines on those plays ....The dang chain crew moves or sets to the goal line for the try ....Then upstairs says "Wait a minute"
