I feel like that should have been a first down.
It was 4th and 2 from the TB3.
Normally that would be a 5 yard penalty but since they are on the 3 it's half the distance to the goal bringing them to the 1.5 yard line half a yard short of the first down.
Personally I feel like that should trigger an automatic first down because if it was 4th and 2 anywhere else on the field and they take that penalty it's a first down.
