Interference - Cowboys Lions

Situationally (3rd down in the 4th quarter of a playoff game), despite the new rules on illegal contact, I thought the holding was marginal and the DPI was marginal. Together I thought they amounted to a foul, but you can't really add up .5 foul + .5 foul to = 1 foul. I agree the administration was poor, not sure how communication got screwed up there.

Dez protesting the call was marginal, I see that reaction go unpenalized all the time. He's allowed to disagree, right? I didn't see anything specifically unsporting about his actions. Every fan forum is whining about him not having his helmet on -- but he wasn't even on the field at the time. As far as I know there are no rules governing whether a player is required to wear his helmet when not actively participating in the play. Being on the field was marginal too, and unless he ran up to an official protesting the call or waved them off or something I doubt the officials would call that in a playoff game.
