As far as downfield throws (assume you meant Butthead), he scrambled for a long time and the DEs let up thinking he was going out of bounds (this is why you still hit him) and he floated a duck that the receiver had to wait for and Waynes never turned and found the ball so when the receiver stopped, Waynes ran in to him and drew the flag.  That is a key lesson on balls like that for a WR, always come back and run THROUGH the DB to try and get the ball.  Almost assures a flag.  I hardly consider that play horsehead throwing the ball downfield.  Outside of that one pass, he had 152 yards passing on 23 attempts, a 6.6 YPA average, and a hell of a lot of those passes were screens that were forward passes but right at the LOS.  

There's no such thing as "faceguarding" in the NFL anymore. The DB doesn't have to turn his head and make a play on the ball. 

As far as that play with Chase is concerned...i think it could go either way. He looked to get there a smidge early but i don't think it was an obvious call.
