Not when the defender doesn't turn his head. Face guarding in the NFL is pretty black and white - you touch the WR, it's a penalty. It happened in the Saints game and it wasn't called but the defender never touched him. The Chiefs got away with one there.

Shut up Michaels. Go back to jerking off to the sound of your own voice.

If you watch the slow-mo replay, BOTH of Lucks feet are still in bounds, one right in front of the other, when Houston makes contact. He wasn't going out of bounds, he was trying to tightrope the sideline.
