There is no way the NFL will pass up Dallas vs Green Bay

You can't embed Deadspin videos, but I want to see some legitimately make the argument that he did not tug on the jersey at 24 seconds into that video, and did not put his hand on the receiver's right shoulder and push it backwards between 30-34 seconds, before the arrival of the ball.

I'm sure someone will be crazy enough to do it, so have at it.

Seeing that angle, it does look like he barely pushed the receiver's shoulder (which actually probably helped the receiver more than hinder him). I didn't see that in the gifs that have been floating around.

There was also a ticky-tack defensive holding that should never be called.

In terms of actual impact, it looks more like the receiver pushed off than the defender pushed him.

The bottom line is that it's a shame that officials have to make calls in situations like this. It's too fine a line to do a good job for anyone.

I would have called unsportsmanlike conduct on Dez Bryant.

Pettigrew pushed off as well, before all of that.
