That non-call on the touchdown was because the defender hit the receiver, not the other way around.

It would have likely been illegal contact by the defender in fact had it been a couple more yards down the field.

As it was, the correct call was to not call anything.
Agreed…..Lamb didn’t lower his shoulder as described. He did what any receiver would do when he sees a defender bearing down for contact….protect himself

You're wrong. This is from the rulebook:

"Offensive pass interference rules apply from the time the ball is snapped until the ball is touched."
We got away with one.

Good about time we got away with one. GB gets away with that all the time.

Disagree. Lamb was searching for contact and lowered his shoulder in an obvious way. That’s the definition of an illegal pick play
If you see someone about to run into you, the natural reaction is to dip your shoulder to protect yourself.

If Lamb had posted up or turned inward, then it would have been an offensive penalty, but running your route and a defender hitting you from the side is not an offensive penalty, but defensive penalty if it is far enough away from the line of scrimmage
