Ron Torbert has a pink whistle, I thought they stopped wearing pink.

Can the administrators take a look at the TD pass in Chicago at 15:00 of 2Q from Fields to Moore.
Called TD on the field, ultimately upheld on replay, Steratore disagrees.

The Bears DJ Moore scores a touchdown, as ruled by side judge Eugene Hall.
The Broncos challenge the call, claiming Moore's right foot was out of bounds. The left foot is in bounds, but did the right foot ever touch down in bounds? It certainly looks like the right foot never touched in bounds, but replay officials ruled that there was no definitive angle to give "clear and obvious" footage to take the touchdown off the board.
The play stood as called and the Bears got six points.

Bills guard David Edwards enters the game as an H-back on 1st & goal. Because he is wearing #75 and lined up behind the line of scrimmage, he must report "eligible" to the referee. This allows him to line up in a position ordinarily allowed for a player wearing the number of an eligible receiver (#0-49 and 80-89). The referee will signal the defense in a two-handed signal in front of his chest, mimicking "erasing" the imaginary number, and announcing the eligible reporting player.
Edwards can remain in the game as an eligible player, but after each down he must re-report to the referee, and only the referee. If another official gets that erasing signal from a lineman, this is not deemed to have reported properly. Edwards must re-report no matter what if he remains in the game; there is no "un-report" other than to remove himself for a down or if there are certain administrative stoppages.

Cardinals center Hjalte Froholdt was sent to the sideline by officials in the fourth quarter. The ATC spotter who watches players for potential concussions radioed to referee Clete Blakeman that Froholdt had to come out, because he withstood helmet contact on a block (seen at the right side of the screen on the live play, but not shown in the replays) and apparently was exhibiting other signs of brief disorientation.
Froholdt went to the sidelines and believed he could return after sitting out for one down. Concussion protocol is not the same as any other injury. The player must be evaluated by a neurospecialist on the sideline (inside the blue tent), and either returned to the game or to the locker room for further examination.
Blakeman escorted Froholdt to the sideline again, as the return-to-play is not allowed. He likely issued a warning to the sideline that further attempts to evade the concussion protocol are unsportsmanlike conduct.
I would also expect the Cardinals organization to receive some sort of sanction (or at least an admonition).

Nice job by side judge Lo Van Pham calling this closer-than-it-looks Michael Wilson sliding touchdown.
One cheek equals two feet!

Jaylen Hurts collides with line judge Maia Chaka. It can get crowded and dangerous on that sideline.
Chaka went down hard, but got right back up and was able to grin before the next snap.
