You should be thanking Bowman. If White had run free, that poorly thrown pass behind him might have been picked off you'd have had no shot at all of winning.

quote:

LEGAL CONTACT WITHIN FIVE YARDS
Article 1 Legal Contact Within Five Yards.
Within five yards of the line of scrimmage, a defensive player may chuck an eligible receiver in front of him. The defender is allowed to maintain continuous and unbroken contact within the five-yard zone, so long as the receiver has not moved beyond a point that is even with the defender.

ILLEGAL CONTACT WITHIN FIVE YARDS
Article 2 Illegal Contact Within Five Yards.
Within the five-yard zone, if the player who receives the snap remains in the pocket with the ball, a defender may not make original contact in the back of a receiver, nor may he maintain contact after the receiver has moved beyond a point that is even with the defender.


It looks like Bowman bumped White/White ran into him and then Bowman went with him and then swatted the pass (thrown behind White, I might add).
