Another complaint

On Rivers' first interception, he was falling down as he threw because Mike Vrabel whipped his leg into Rivers as he was falling down past him. This is in fact a penalty. That would have been nice to get it called, as it would have negated the pick and given the Chargers a first down. Go to www.nfl.com/videos and find the Asante Samuel pick to see it. (Alternately, go here, watch the video where they highlight the leg whip at 3:45 in.) So, yes, a correct call would have been a pleasant surprise, because it was definitely that leg whip that caused the interception and fundamentally altered the game.
