That said, you are right...in that situation, it would have been too obvious and had more people questioning the leagues legitimacy.
It's either bias or incompetence or a little of both, but these types of penalties are not called with any sort of consistency. Yep, KC got the call in their favor...the most penalized team in the league managed to avoid one call that would have obviously changed the game.

Yeah, but they are not usually going to throw a flag just for having your hands touching the other player. There's always some amount of contact before the ball gets there, and the officials have to make a judgement as to whether it interfered with the receiver's ability to catch the ball. They got that call right.
I don't see a difference between what the Ravens and Ravens fans are doing - crying about a no-call - than what we have made an industry out of on CP, crying about a no-call on almost every play from scrimmage all year long. We on this board are in a very elaborate glass house on this issue.
