easy pass interference call on the man that was actively tackling Najee well before the ball arrived.
Agree except the flag wasn’t thrown and there’s no guarantee it would have been thrown.

You had the PI on Najee and there was clear defensive holding on Irv Smith. No flags were thrown and I’m willing to bet we wouldn’t have seen any if Ridley hadn’t caught that ball.
That whole play still gives me a panic attack.

Yes, the flag had not yet been thrown because referee's exist on the same timeline as us, see the play unfold, and then reach for and throw the flag after the foul is committed. Ridley caught the TD - no need to reach for laundry. And based on the blatantly obvious nature of hitting and wrapping up the intended WR (removing Ridley from the equation) with both arms, I'm very confident the flag would have been thrown.
Yes, that play was 4th down and filled with anxiety at the time, but the notion that Ridley catching it was some miracle is nonsense. We were running slants on the goal line, and if the play extends, it turns into crossing routes. One WR catching the ball in front of another crossing reciever is not a miracle. A great play and certainly fortunate, but not some other-worldly phenomenon. And the PI would have been called 999 times out of 1,000.
