It appears given the letter of the rule to be a legal play.


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.

Grabbing


Hey look, he didn't grab. He pushed him down.

Can't you people read? The league said it was a legal play.

Get your paperbags off your heads so you can see it more clearly. You can't read through those little holes cut in them.
