[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1090844, member: 10086"] The difference between a Receiver pushing off and hand fighting is a fine line. What I noticed about this particular play was Kmet was hand fighting the DB. Just before he broke away he was using a straight arm to keep separation and that’s completely allowed. Similar to how a DB can actually slightly hook a Receivers arm as long as the don’t use their fingers to clasp on the arm or full hook them into a hold maneuver. Both can touch one another though that’s not a foul. ESPECIALLY come playoffs where officials traditionally tend to let them play a little bit more. Push off isnt the same as a stiff arm that’s held for 1.5 seconds. It has to be a blatant push off and If you look Kmet never extended his arm in the act of separating. It was already extended during the hand fighting This was really not even close imo and was a good no call and football platers are going to hand fight for positioning. That DB has every opportunity to follow Kmet and Kmet has every right to hold an extended straight arm to mitigate the hand fighting. Not sure what distracted the DB but imo he underestimated Caleb’s arm strength as he was clear back beyond the 35 yard line falling backwards. Probably 3-4 QB’s in the league have the arm strength to make that throw. The DB gave up on his rep 1 second too early or he couldve interfered with that throw. I’m not a Bears fan and in particular I’m not a Cole Kmet fan especially. This was as clean a football play as you can get and probably a Top 10 best plays of 2025 We either learn to stop giving up on plays before the whistle or we can expect dozens more disappointing finishes. It was actually similar to Week 14 Nixon but Keisean didn’t give up. He’s got that scrappy finisher feel. [/QUOTE]
