I think we're working with two different definitions of play. By play, I mean a chance to catch the ball. You appear to mean actually catching the ball.
Absent interference, I think Gronk as a small chance at making the catch. I think he has a much larger chance of preventing the interception. Had time not expired, wouldn't that have mattered as well?
What if A & B were reversed here. In that case wouldn't it have been OPI? (Serious question. I have no idea.)
