Question: What was seen to call offensive pass interference on Stefon Diggs that nullified a touchdown catch by DeMario Douglas?

Adrian Hill: "On that play, we ruled blocking downfield by number eight, early during the play. So, if there is a situation where a player blocks downfield, it's not a foul until a pass is thrown, so you kind of put that in the bank. And then the pass was thrown downfield later, that created the offensive pass interference.

Question: "The follow up question, mechanically, with the later timing of the penalty and subsequent announcement as both teams had their special teams units on the field, how did that unfold, the timing?

Hill: "The official was processing the play and then he came to me over the O20 (official-to-official communications system). Because it was a long-developing play, he had to rewind back to what happened at the beginning of the play, and process that.
