For comparison's sake, I think this should have resulted in an ejection:

Clearly intentional contact.
The Kuechly incident was just that, incidental contact (initiated by the official) with no malicious intent.
EDIT: Just to clarify, if the official had been next to or in front of Kuechly, I'd view this differently. The reason I oppose the flag and ejection is that he grabbed him from behind and Kuechly had every reason to want to free his arm and continue walking away. If he'd known it was an official, I'd say he shouldn't have let the official keep guiding him.
