He didn't exactly catch the ball and run backwards - guy tried to break a tackle and the oddity of the rules say that if you do so and keep your feet, you get punished for it.

I don't think it's fair to say he didn't anything wrong there. That's a designed quick catch/run where his job is to try to break that tackle and find some grass along the sideline. Dude got squared up, absorbed the blow and then tried to recover and couldn't.

This wasn't a Demarcus Robinson catching and running the wrong way scenario. We see that same play happen to guys every week and it's just a strange way the forward progress rule works on occasion.
