He was challenging the penalty on the int.
He was wanting to challeneg not the penalty itself, but the eligibility of the WR. If the WR was OOB, he can't catch the ball, and therefor CAN'T be interfered with.
That's why the penalty was illegal contact.
Still a bad call. Better off a no-call, especially since the receiver pushed off first
You can't tackle a receiver by his jersey no matter what. That's a clear penalty.
 
Hey Hackett, now you're down 7. How about keep running it up the guy over and over and let the defense tee off and Manuel on third?

 
at least this gives us another opportunity to watch Spiller standing on the sideline while the Bills offense is out there

He's no longer a receiver after he steps out of bounds.

Did you watch what preceded that? Apparently not. At best it would be off-setting. Make no difference to me personally, not a fan of either team and none of players involved mattered to me in fantasy.

If a player goes OOB and is ineligible to catch the ball, it would follow that he can't be illegally contacted or interfered with. BUt even if he could, he can't push off first...the DB grabbed him as he lost balance, which happened because he was pushed by the WR. Just an ugly play all the way around.

 
They're ####### kidding about Matt Millen, right?

eta* I mean, please tell they're kidding about devoting an hour of bio to this guy.

Doesn't matter. From the rule book."A defensive player may not tackle or hold an opponent other than a runner. Otherwise, he may use his hands, arms, or body only: ..."

Thus illegal contact was called. It was a penalty.

you are correct, but he's still allowed to defend the ball, yes?

any QBs in the stands?
Paging josh freeman
It would be hilarious if Freeman just started showing up at Browns, Jags and Rams games in the stands.
Ha! Best post so far. Freeman should sit in the stands wearing sunglasses, chewing gum with a "you want some of this?" look like WWE or UFC "heels" do
