And I don't know what games you are watching where the defense is allowed to do "some sort of bumping" against receivers 10-15 yards downfield. And I don't see how him being a tight end has any significance whatsoever.

Exactly. Even if it's not flagged as holding, it's definitely illegal contact. You can't contact a receiver beyond the 5 yard chuck zone in the NFL.
Yes, it was an excellent call.
