As the ball is descending into the waiting arms of the defender, the intended receiver places his hands on the shoulder pads of the defender. Doesn't matter...the ball lands in the defenders bread basket for an INT as both players fall to the ground. My L couldn't see the hands on the shoulder pads. I could. But, I passed after seeing the defender posses the ball to the ground.

I'd have flagged it anyway. As mentioned before, you don't know for sure what other laundry is already on the field. Not right to not let this offset, when it would have offset had he NOT caught the ball.
