How many other teams in the league do you see getting a fresh set of downs from the goal line constantly?

Another play that surprisingly didn't get alot of talk was in the Semi-final in the 2nd half on an important play where a Lions DB picked off Durant which may have sealed the deal but the officials called PI on the DB. On the replay you can clearly see the DB broke on the ball and jumped in front of the receiver to grab it. Suitor didn't say jack about it which was surprising seeing he was a DB but I assumed he had his Rider blinders on as it certainly merited another look but they moved on like the play was no big deal. The riders ended up scoring on that drive but to me it was an extremely marginal call on a game changing play but I also found TSN in general really talked down any infractions of the Riders while making more of a big deal about calls on the other team.
