Darn Double Whistles!!!
I think that this is either a common foul (sounds unlikely in this stitch), an intentional foul (the player had no other reason for the contact except to just plain foul), Flagrant (if you judged that the contact was malicous in nature, or if you judged it as the prelude to a fight {see fighting definition in RB}) of course Flagrant being 1 and done your out a here! A technical is hard to call in this case since it was a live ball; not too many live ball T situations in FED.
First thing you do is going to be A VERY STRONG whistle and jump between the two as quick as possible, make sure it doesn't escalate...then you levy appropriate penalties.
Good luck the rest of the week, and hopefully "Championship Sunday!!"
