NF 7-6-10-a "It is forward-pass interference if any player of A or B...interferes with an eligible opponent's opportunity to move toward, catch or bat the pass." Once the pass has gone by the receiver, even though it still nay be in the air, the opportunity for that receiver to catch or bat the ball is over. This happens all the time in games in the plays like Bob M mentioned. The pass gets by A and then B hits A. As long as the hit is after the pass has passed by A, we correctly let it go.
