B Browns interception

[Dogariffic]

For a td was not a roughing Qb penality. The Qb was hit after the ball was intercepted ......thus the Qb was mearly being blocked......now the block in the back may be a penality but should not be roughing the passer.....

You are incorrect. The hit was part of rushing the passer. It was not a block. It was clearly roughing the passer, it was stupid and unnecessary. The refs got it right. In fact, while I thought they missed a lot from the stands on watching the game on TV they actually got most calls right. They definitely could have called some more holds on UK and not flagging the interference was ridiculous, even though it wouldn't have mattered.

My sentiments. Calvin played a really good game but that was a bad play by him and the correct call

Don't know if the hit came before or after the interception. But there's no way Calvin knew the ball was intercepted. 10 years ago, you could get away with a free hit on the QB as long as you didn't hit him hard. You can't today. That's roughing the passer every time. It was a good call.

He had 2 costly penalties Saturday.

Their left tackle (#70) held all night.

The hit came after the interception. Watch the replay. Defender took two steps after the ball was released before the hit. This it was a late hit, but the ball was in the air. I would like to know the wording of the rule.

Roughing the passer: No defensive player may charge into a passer or throw him to the ground when it’s obvious the pass has been thrown, unless he is blocked by a Team A player into the QB with a force that prevents contact. Penalty is 15 yds and automatic 1st down from the end of the last run if beyond NZ and there is no change of team possession. If pass is incomplete, intercepted or completed, but receiver is tackled behind LOS, enforce from previous spot

Change of possession does not matter. If the guy is a passer you can't hit him after the ball is thrown until he turns into a tackler. Period. It was a good call.
