NFL Network: Smith Catches Second TD
Sorry to link to the Ravens website. It's the only video I can find. It happens so fast, but in replay it's an obvious penalty. It's too bad the Patriots couldn't get more pressure on Flacco for that throw. Kyle Love appears to think he was held.
Torrey Smith had a remarkable night, considering the loss of his brother less than 24 hours earlier. He was destined to do this. What a great football player!
But with the ref right in front of the play, he should have seen the textbook case of pushing off to get separation from the defender when the ball was in the air. I felt McCourtey was unfairly victimized.
When is a pushoff--and they called one on Lloyd earlier in the game that was less flagrant--not a pushoff?
