About the only thing he did was he gave Johnson a bit of an armbar when he turned his head back to look for the ball.

Pretty marginal to being throwing a flag on that, it's pretty baffling that a flag came out at all.

For a moment, let's say the pass was incomplete. IMO, the armbar thing whould have been illegal contact and not pass interference. 5 yard penalty at most. Could have resulted in OT instead of an outright win.
