So, if a DB grabs hold of someone, it's a penalty not he offense for fighting his hands off of himself? 

 

I'm glad you're not a ref.

Inside of 5 yards? Let them battle as per rules, Watkins shoves him down cutting inside. The penalty was called with the defender on the ground already holding on for dear life. It was going to be a catch at the point regardless.

He grabbed Wtkins by the shoulder pads. Watkins fought him off, which is why the defender was "on the ground". It doesnt matter if it's within 5 yards, 1 yard, behind the line of scrimmage, you can't grab somebody. It was absolutely the right call.

You can grab within 5 yards, you just can’t tackle or bring someone down. Both guys were fighting within 5, Watkins shoved him down.
