Not sure what you're trying to say here.

The rule you cite is certainly valid, but doesn't really matter if it is the 2nd contact.
In THIS play, the defender first contacted the offensive player who then might have used his arm to push him a little. The main contact was when the defender came through/over the offensive player to get in a spot for the arm to be relevant but he was already going down due to the body contact. The arm is just a distraction. It may be the easiest thing to see, but it isn't the right call.
