IMO that is why the official threw the flag, for face guarding. Border line call by the "eye in the sky". Just like the Masoli fumble.
To be clear, the official didn't throw a flag. The replay official overturned the non-call. As far as the Masoli play went, IMO it was incredibly clear that he fumbled before his arm was in any kind of forward throwing motion. That was just a terrible, terrible game-changing call and I am still ticked off about it.
