What I don't get, is if I'm running after you and the ball hits me in the back of the head, wouldn't that be the same thing? Oh, and there was a play when a Pats receiver went up to catch it, so the guy started to tackle him, before the ball got there, so he ended up not catching it. I'd think that'd be interference. I don't quite understand those rules I guess...
If I remember the play you are talking about it was decided that the contact had nothing to do with the reciever catching the ball, which was why pass interference was not called. That or the ball was barely tipped.
