It wasn't roughing, but I can understand why someone threw that flag, depending on where they were standing.  Both Tirico and Brees pointed out it was a terrible call but Carr did his best to sell it by snapping his head back and falling dramatically.  If you were off to the side of that play, that's enough to look like forceful contact to the head.  The problem is that there is only one person watching the QB, so if he throw that flag in a bogus situation, there is no other official to point out it is in error, as opposed to the defensive backfield where you see a guy throw the flag and another official come in from a better angle to over rule the flag.  This is why they need a Sky Judge on all plays with the ability to nullify or call for a flag when appropriate.
