Nope. The WR engaged the DB with extended arms. If anything call a hold and an OPI. But that is not typically how it is called in my eyes.

Peace

Except we've seen that same play called a hold in same/similar circumstances.

That's what I said when I watched it. That has been a hold in the NFL this season. The WR tried to get away from the DB after they engaged and the DB's left hand was still holding the WR's jersey.

That is also never going to be called OPI because as we've seen many times, OPI doesn't have the same threshold for a penalty that DPI does. Offensive players get away with stuff all the time that defensive players get flagged for. There was a play early in the game last night when the WR went over the top of the defensive player and displaced him to knock a ball down that was underthrown with no call.

I do not know that everyone calls everything the same way, but I digress. And it might explain why those guys were working the game, instead of others you saw working during the season.

That being said I have seen that type of play not called at the NFL level and the NCAA level often.

Peace
