I never would call that PI was not enough contact IMO to call it that. That said what an Athletic play by Sherman on what was a very well thrown ball! (Kaep had him open and Sherman made an UNBELIEVABLE play)
I wish there was an angle from the other side, because the push-off was actually quite bad - Sherman moved himself into position as he always does on fades(and generally intercepts them) and Crabtree shoved him out of the way in the back - from where I was sitting in the Hawks Nest, even though I was on the other end of the field it was really obvious. I'm just happy that Sherm tipped the ball as he was being pushed because I don't think they would have called the penalty. (FWIW, I think they generally SHOULD call an OPI or DPI with time still on the clock - but the ref should swallow their whistle on the literal last second plays)
