As an R, and given the result of the play with the ball dead in R's EZ with R in possession, I would have two questions for the covering official, who I assume is the BJ. First, was the interception completed in the field of play? If yes, then was it momentum that took the interceptor into the EZ? If the answer to this second question is yes, it's R's ball at the spot of the interception; if no, then we have a safety.

The only possiblity that would allow for a TB is if the answer to the first question is no...the catch was NOT completed in the field of play, but in the EZ...i.e. the interceptor was still bobbling the ball when he crossed the goal line. In that case, and only in that case, is the result of the play a touchback.

Definintely sounds like the BJ and R missed the proper ruling. A's coach should request a timeout and discuss the missapplication of the rule.
