I have to admit, the referee in my cringed when they blew that illegal pick. It was blatant, and it was right in front of B.

On replay, the illegal nudge looked like a bad call too, but who knows how it looked to the man that threw the flag (never found out if that was U trailing that called it, or B in front).
Originally, they broadcast the replay of the pick, the announcers thinking that was the penalty (along with many of us watching). Then they showed the replay of the PF, after realizing it wasn't a pick call. You are correct, there may have been more there that the official saw that we didn't (typically is). What Fox replayed for the PF didn't seem worthy of a flag, though, the pick sure should have been called.
