I love how some are so concerned about an OL down the field. I have yet to see anyone talk about the fact that they had a WR wide open behind our D with no one paying attention to him.
Kelly could have crossed the line 2 yards and they could have had 3 OL downfield illegally but if one of our DBs was covering their WR, even if the pass was completed, at best they get a first down not a TD.
It has to do with the read that you are supposed to make as a DB. If linemen are blocking downfield, then you read that as a run and you come up for run support.
The thing about that play that OM ran is that there is no right thing for the DB to do. That is why it's illegal. Humphrey stays with his man, and Kelly could run for additional yards.

Agreed but not a TD.
In the end the no call did not cost us the game.
