Best Answer

During a game, all of the officials are constantly talking and giving signals to each other. They give many signals. When you see the head linesman raise his hand, he is signaling to all of the other officials the correct down. Upon receiving that signal, each official checks the down marker indicator that they have on their wrist to make sure that they are all in agreement.
