It was a bad call because it was clearly a questionable call and it was HUGE in deciding the outcome of the game.

Here is the rule to support my statement...NFHS Rule 9-4-4c.
A defensive player shall neither run into the kicker nor holder, which is contact that displaces the kicker or holder without roughing; nor block, tackle or charge into the kicker of a scrimmage kick, or the place-kick holder, other than when:
c. Contact is slight and is partially caused by movement of the kicker.

Clearly a questionable call? I disagree.
More importantly, why is a guy who supposedly did not own/use a rule book quoting Fed rules, in reference to a situation in an NFL game?
Kickers are highly-paid specialists at the NFL level, and are afforded an even higher level of protection.
