This is nothing new. I've noticed this the last 5-6 years, while in the regular season you breath on a receiver and it's pass interference or holding or illegal contact, in the playoffs the refs have been letting the teams play. I imagine coaches are aware of this and coaching their players to play more physical in coverage.
