I think it's a relative new term that arose from replay rules. Prior to replay
plays resulted in first downs or not. There was never a need to say "line to gain" until refs needed to decribe what was being reviewed and the results of the review.

There was some weird concerted effort by broadcasters to have this become part of the football lexicon recently

That's probably what brought it into more common usage, but Greg Wrubell has been using it for 20 years.

And if you are familiar with LES, when Wrubell says a team is playing from his left to right as he sees it
