To me it's plain. He reaches up, shoves the guy and goes the opposite way, it's pushing off. Is there something about initiating contact in the rule book?
That said, I'll watch it again if there is a clip anywhere.

Actually, the DB (Hope) made the first illegal contact at the goalline, then did it a second time just before Jackson pushed off.
IMO Jackson pushed off, and should have been flagged accordingly, but Hope made illegal contact twice before Jackson pushed off. If you're going to "let em play" when Hope is all over DJ, then you have to be consistent and let DJ get away with a minor push off. Otherwise, if you're going to call a tight game, call it consistently tight and flag Hope for illegal contact.
