I like to apply the standard of the most conservative...one could argue that the most conservative calls come for/against Tom Brady, so I ask myself it the defender pushed Tom Brady after he stepped out of bounds, would that typically result in a personal foul. Even borderline, it typically does...so even if it's close and Brady had yet not touched the white out of bound marker but was headed that way a shove would result in 15 free yards.
If you havent looked at the replay, your probably should, because your recounting of the play is wholly inaccurate...and even borderline would have been called for many of today's QB's. Why Mahomes, after becoming the leagues MVP, doesnt get afforded this BOTD is somewhat telling.
