My point being that if you want to take the strict reading of rules, after the first 5 yards the defender can only put his hand on a receiver in order to protect himself from impending contact. This I feel was not the case. The play started as a 1st and 10 at the Pitt. 16. When the defender put his hand on the receiver he was at the goal line, beyond the 5 yard cushion. In reading that rule the play should have been offsetting penalties and replay the down.
