Maybe it's just me missing something but can someone explain why the refs didn't call a penalty on the Eagles on the interception play and why the announcers are not discussing the fact that the defender had his back to the ball and was grabbing our WR when the ball hit him on the helmet popping it up for the INT? I'm pretty sure the defender can't touch the WR after the first 5 yards.
