I can safely say that I don't watch a lot of FG block attempts, but I can also safely say that players blocking don't all stay in their lanes and inadvertant contact with teammates from behind likely happens a lot along the line.

My response there was to the poster thinking it was for pushing the opponent and not your own player. I don't know if it was the right call or not. Pretty chintzy way to end a game but at the same time if it's a rule, it's a rule. I probably would have let it go on a game ending play.
Good news for Denver/KC though. Everyone else has at least 2 losses in the AFC and they have 0.
