After watching the video several times, I think the call could've gone either way. It wasn't much of a push by the receiver but great acting by the defensive back and the refs bought in to it.

The way the rules are so unapologetically slanted towards the offense, I'm surprised this was called. Given the modern NFL, I'm surprised it was called.

The Saint's Jimmy Graham looks pretty tall. I think he could have jumped up and still caught the ball without pushing the CB. I have to admit that Perrish Cox, the 49ers cornerback, did a great job of flopping on that play.

Graham didn't even need to do that and he could still catch that ball. We blame the refs after watching it on replays from many different angles. And people still claim that he didn't even touch him? Now that's the biggest joke of them all. Graham touched him, defensive player sold it perfectly and I can imagine refs were easily deceived in real time.
