ya
i mean should it have been a call?
yes
did him being grabbed affect the play?
impossible to say, he wasn't allowed to compete for the ball
Asked Steve Smith what happened w/Talib. He told me, "You're gonna have to ask him. He didn't finish the game. Ice up, son.”
even if it wasnt PI, shouldnt it have been defensive holding?
Should have been interference. There's a reason the uncatchable signal is waving your hand over your head.
Clete Blakeman spoke to reporters after the game and said, in essence, he thought they got the call correct. It was determined that the ball was uncatchable. Blakeman said the back judge threw the flag for defensive pass interference and then a discussion was held where it was determined the interception and the interference occurred at the same time and therefore uncatchable.
