Apparently we see different things in the video. Prior to contact, I see then runner foot make contact with the bag.
He is then knocked off with what instructors would call playing action, not an intentional shove or even an extra hard tag.
There may no be word for word description of this in the rules, but there is plenty of accepted precedence.
