| The Panthers tried a handoff to running back Christian McCaffrey, who based on the TV copy arguably failed to make it to the line to gain. The officials ruled that McCaffrey had achieved a first down. As the clock ticked under 30 seconds, the offense lined up for a clock-killing spike play. By then, 12 seconds remained. In the rush to get the teams lined up and the ball snapped to kill the clock, the replay official didn’t buzz the referee for a review of the ruling that McCaffrey had reached the line to gain. Because the Giants had used all three of their time outs, coach Pat Shurmur couldn’t pull the plug on the process while hoping for someone to think that maybe there should be a closer look. Per multiple sources, the league contends that the play was reviewed at the command center in New York, with a determination being made that no formal replay was needed. |
But if they had a timeout they could have called it and then lobbied for a measurement or at least have given the officials time to think about it.

If they call a timeout then the Panthers could just line up and kick even if he didnt get the 1st down.
The advantage was the panthers were going to have to rush the FG unit on without a T.O. nor the ability to spike the ball.
Probably but they would be a lot more rushed.

Exactly. Because obviously a review could not be done in the 5 seconds between McCaffrey being tackled and Cam spiking the ball
Pretty hilarious that they would claim
A review was completed in
5 seconds given how agonizingly long most of their reviews are
