Richard Sherman's hit on Walt Powell was a penalty

The last play of the first half of last night's travesty has been covered ad nausem. What has seen a less accurate discussion is the true last play of the game, the Bills' incomplete pass on 4th and Goal.

Bills fans have inevitably seen the play. As Tyrod Taylor rolls to his left, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman blows up / knocks down / crushes Bills WR Walt Powell just over the goal line on the right sideline, just feet in front of the referee. The immediate reaction from my friends, myself, and social media was that it was another egregious no-call and should have been called illegal contact.
