It probably doesn't meet the exact requirement laid out, but there was a pretty high profile shove/bump earlier this year involving Cam Newton and Jerome Boger that did not result in an ejection.
Cam Newton gets chippy with Oakland Raiders, officials - NFL Videos Personally, I think the Newton clip was worse because there was clear intent.
You can't really judge intent in the middle of a melee. I'm not going to dig through 100s of hours of clips on someone else's behalf to find examples of officials getting pushed in the middle of skirmishes. I know I've seen it at the NFL level, though. The standard is simply, different.
