Maybe the the ref on the sideline saw it was a clear TD that he never reached the out of bounds, that's the only thing I can think of? That's why I would also assume ESPN didn't make a big deal out of it. But obviously the camera angle wouldn't be as clear, so we're left up to speculation. The All-22/coaches film should provide a good idea of what happened. I'm sure if Hill stepped out of bounds, there will be an an article about it somewhere eventually.
I'm not so sure about that. Many reasons here.
1) ESPN holds the camera shots. Without them showing a close one during broadcast, no one is gonna see close enough footage.
2) I doubt the all-22 will be close enough to determine.
3) it's the Browns doing what the Browns do. The better story is that and not the potential out of bounds. You can gauruntee if it were the patriots, there would be articles about if he stepped out or not.
4) ESPN didn't comment on it, because like most everyone else watching, they were caught up in the ridiculous event that just occurred.
5) The refs were far more concerned with controlling the teams as the extra pt still needed to get kicked and both teams were already shaking hands on the field.
I honestly don't know if he stepped out. He might have not. But I think it warrant a proper review. Especially because it was the deciding factor in the game.
