I don't think that method is in the indisputable evidence category. Maybe wrong call but right on the replay as far as the rules.

The thing was as soon as I saw it happen I said touchback because it looked like a no brainer, so whichever way the ref ruled it it was going to stand, it looked like to me they didn't even consider it. once I saw the replay I knew it was a touchback, but I also knew they wouldn't overturn it, but it was a touchback.

The only thing I could say is his foot hit the pyllon and the ball was to his right in the field of play, it was a simple deduction but I knew it would stand.
