How the hell is that not PI? He literally drug Fowler to the ground!

If I'm not mistaken engaged behind the LOS there's a lot more liberty granted to defenders.

Note 4: There can be no pass interference at or behind the line of scrimmage, but defensive actions such as tackling a receiver can still result in a 5-yard penalty for defensive holding, if accepted. 

They often don't call defensive holding because it looks like the receiver and defender might be blocking each other.   DPI doesn't apply if the receiver is behind the LOS.  That's the only justification I can see.

Wow STUPID penalty by Keenan Allen.   Giving us 15 yards on the kick improves our chances to get great field position.   Takes away any chance they'd short kick (unlikely).   

It's a move our D would have made in 2015 or last year.  Kinda refreshing to be the beneficiary of a boneheaded play there.
