The replay was conclusive that Burrow released the ball before he went out of bounds. As it was called a touchdown on the field, it was automatically reviewed. 

We heard the whistle on the broadcast but it may not have been blown at that point in time we heard it on the broadcast.

That’s not how a live broadcast works.

As stated by the ref on tv, the whistle was blown while the ball was in the air and it should have been a replayed down.

So then what's your take on what happened?

In short - the refs sucks.
 

But the long story is One of the refs blew the whistle as Borrow threw the ball.  If you watch he replay you can even see Burrow react negatively because he thought the ref blew the whistle too soon negating the TD. 

The refs should have called the play dead and replayed the down per the rules, but they didn’t because they’re horrible.

Yup, as i said i thought raiders would be jumping around and complaining.

Raiders hanging in there a must td there.

can't really complain about that he was in bounds and whistle was blown same time the ball was caught ...it had zero effect on the play and the whistle shouldn't have been blown.

That's becoming a more and more common explaination

I'm all in favor of refs not blowing the whistle early, let it play out a bit

Honestly what they should do is in questionable plays to wait until it's a for sure.

Too many times have I seen the refs blow the whistle when the play wasn't done

Whistle was blown just before the ball was caught.  That ends the play.  Whether it had no tangible effect or not is not relevant at all.  Inadvertent whistle blown, play dead, play replayed.

At least that is how the raiders should approach it.
