For a QB, you can't touch his helmet with any kind of force. If they had called hands to the face, I think you could have made an argument there, although a weak one at best. His hand grazed the facemask on the way to grasping his jersey at his shoulder.
There is no 5 yarder any more. It has to be a 15 yarder. And that was not a 15 yard penalty.
What's "any kind of force" mean in that context? If I'm not mistaken, it did cause his helmet to move. Not sure if that's sufficient. Obviously it wasn't challengeable.
