You do learn something new every day - you can interfere within one yard of the line of scrimmage?

You're not right about this.  Ball wasn't tipped and the receiver was just beyond the LOS.

 

The ball MAY have been tipped, and he was almost exactly a yard past the LOS, as I saw it.

It was the league’s way of not saying “ you can longer chuck a WR ever”. Remember , this used to be allowed all the way down the field as recently as the 70’s. It’s part of the reason why QBs have put up pinball numbers .

 

But not when the ball was in the air, was it?

No , I don’t believe it was allowed once the ball was thrown, but it had a huge impact on running routes.

Yeah, no doubt about that.

That works both ways too. A lot of teams do the pick play on offense within one yard and they can't call offensive pass interference

Stop giving out accurate information.  People on here aren't interested.

No penalty. ReWatch the game and see for yourself. 

If the ball was tipped, the ref would have announced that there was no interfence for that reason, as we’ve seen countless times over the years.  Instead he announced there was no interference because the receiver was within one yard of the line of scrimmage.

Every decent offence uses this on most passing downs, watch how the Pats do it all the time for their benefit

 

Bills fans cry it’s an illegal pick because Buffalo hasn’t bother implementing it at all

Geeez people the ruling was as the OP pointed out! Apparently...you can hit the receiver within one yard of the line of scrimmage. While the rule seems ridiculous I’m guessing it exists so that it’s not ruled pass interference if the defense is contacting a receiver who’s actually really just blocking and the QB happens to throw the ball towards him. But...in this case it didn’t really seem to fit the INTENT of the rule. The receiver was clearly running a route, with some separation, and the defender purposely ran into him before the ball arrived. IMHO it’s another rule that needs tweaking.

the Bills plan to get to using this rule to their advantage by 2030

common knowledge, no penalty. 

I didn't think it was tipped and wasn't it a yard over? I realize since it was tipped he could be hit but did not realize it was tipped?

CBs have always been allowed to jam within 1 yard at the LOS.    That's nothing new. 

Jam but he hit his hip, didn't jam him at the line, hit his hip and knocked him kind of sideways.

contact is contact within 1 yard.   

 

The two hits to Peterman's head that were not called, those mattered more IMO than this.

Not sure how either one mattered more than this, this play was a pick six. Bump and run is getting your hand on the receivers shoulder pad/chest and bumping him, not knocking his body sideways by hitting his hip, IMO this was different.

It doesn't matter.
