Holding - Illegal Pick on TD?

[Boiler Addict]

Check out Damarcus Mitchell get held really bad. I can see why he got hurt on the play, the guy pulled him down.

This TD was too easy. I think it was an illegal pick (WR blocks before pass) but Mackey plays 5 yards off the line, doesn’t make a switch quick enough.

They really seem to be picking on Mackey.

As long as the pass in thrown behind the line of scrimmage, other WRs may block any defensive player.

This is correct. That play was clean.

I guess it didn’t affect the play as that was a major league take down though.

"I think it was an illegal pick" ... Thanks for the clarification. I was iffy on that rule.

Agreed. That was really bad. Hopefully Demarcus is OK. A holding call there pushes them 10 yards back and creates a 2nd and goal at the 15 and who knows what happens.
