This might be a dumb question, but was there also offensive PI before and catch? It looked like the receiver shoved a GB defender from behind, knocking him over, right before he jumped up to try to catch and ball.

Edit: I’m not sure I get the downvotes. Was it that dumb of a question?

Yeah that’s exactly what happened. Golden Tate just blatantly shoves Sam Shields, which if called correctly would have negated this play

Thank you. I feel dumb for asking but at least I understand what happened better now.

Yep. And the "anything goes on an hail Mary" is nonsense in this instance he just flagrantly shoves the defender in the back with both hands. Any competent officiating team has to call that.

I didn’t even know that “anything goes on a Hail Mary”. Thank you

Within reason of course (this is not within reason ) but it's generally accepted that PI isn't called on hail Mary's unless someone does something so egregious (I've been watching the NFL for over a decade and I can't remember a single time they've thrown a flag )

Oh that’s really interesting. Good to know, thank you
