To me a "dirty" play requires intent (Ben Davidson spears Lenny late) or profound stupidity (e.g. Suh and Haynesworth stomps).
Nunez-Roches was just trying to finish a play and while it may have not been necessary it's tough to hold-up when you're already so committed. It looks bad because the ball was gone, but how many times have you seen a QB pull down a ball at that point? There's no evidence he was trying to hurt the guy, despite what Shaw said on Twitter after the fact.
