I know I would have just sat there in awe.

Why would the refs have thrown the flag on that? Portis did nothing wrong, he didn't hold, he didn't face mask, he made a good block to help spring his QB. What if Portis doesn't make that block and Campbell slows down just a step to make a cut and he gets light up from behind by Roth, and Portis just stood there and didn't try to make that block? With that happening Campbell has a greater chance to get seriously hurt or even cough up the ball...
