Denver - 27 vs Philly - 30 Game Thread

He made contact as Jackson went back for the ball.

Was it a lot? No. But if you make no attempt to play the ball, you get flagged.

From the NFL rulebook.

Actions that do not constitute pass interference include but are not limited to:

(d) Laying a hand on a receiver that does not restrict the receiver in an attempt to make a play on the ball.

I think that's like hand on his shoulder not running into his torso while your back is towards the ball.

he didn't make contact though, only contact was when he graced his arm after the ball got there

Then why don't you get mad at the lack of consistency on the part of NFL refs rather than trying to justify the contact with the ref?

Gee, I thought I had pointed out that they don't call it all the time, and that it's not a black or white rule since it's not called all the time.

The spirit of the rule is to protect the refs. In this case, there was nothing to protect the refs from. There was obviously no malicious intent, the ref wasn't in danger, it was accidental, and so on and so forth. Clearly this is an instance, where any official with any credibility would not throw a flag or eject the player.

And Periera (sp?) has said in the past that the refs should make calls with the spirit of the rule in mind, not always the letter of the law.

Good thing he didn't do that then.

Broncos scored, then the Eagles fumbled the kickoff and the Broncos scored again.
