re: NFL says Broncos blocked PAT return was a legal play

It appears given the letter of the rule to be a legal play.
But it makes no sense.
If you touch the long snapper while leaping, it's called leverage and is a penalty. (hard to leap over a guy who is not shoved down and not touch him).
If someone other than the leaper shoves the center down, and the guy leaps, it's ok.
Makes no sense. I guess this will get changed in the offseason.
Credit the broncos for knowing the rule book.

No, it was not. This comes directly from the NFL League Office prior to the start of the season as points of emphasis going into this season.

POINTS OF EMPHASIS
Field Goal/Extra Point Rush Tactics
*Game officials will monitor and strictly enforce the rules pertaining to illegal acts committed by the defensive team while trying to block field-goal and extra-point attempts during the 2016 season, including:
*Making forcible contact below the waist of offensive blockers.
*Grabbing an offensive blocker and pulling him to the side or toward the ground to create space or a gap for a teammate to rush through.
*Using the hands or other parts of the body to push off an offensive blocker to gain leverage in an effort to block the kick.
