Thinking back to Mike Pereria's statement last week that you make a call in the 4th quarter just like in the first and my addendum, you make a call in the championship game just like the first game of the season.
The receiver made a move with his arm that could have possibly been an OPI but it had no material affect. Then the defender falling to the ground then reaching for the receiver's feet. The question (from my couch) would the result had been different if the defender did not have contact, in other words, did the defender's action have a material affect on the play.
My answer. No. Good no call.

I agree and furthermore believe that a flag would have been an incorrect call.
