And the replay also shows the defender grabbing Jackson right at the goal line, causing him to break stride...so I ask again, if the BJ doesn't call that illegal contact, why does he throw the flag on Jackson's push? If you're gonna "let them play", then let them play...

Jackson was already cutting when Hope touched him. IMO, Jackson wasn't impeded by Hope's touching. Run the replay and watch Hope get knocked backwards by Jackson's push, which clearly prevented him from making a play.
There's nothing inconsistent there.
