How is that any different than someone running forward at you and colliding with you. The defensive player was in position for the INT. It shouldn’t make any difference if one player is stationary and the other player runs into him, He caused the PI, not the other way around. You can’t cause PI by not moving, if you are contacted by the other player.
I don’t agree with your assessment of the play. Anthony wasn’t stationary, he came from about 15 yards back to make the play. They ran into each other and the contact was incidental. However, Anthony plays through his back. You can’t do this before the ball gets there. If he gets there half a step later it’s no big deal, but him playing through the back early is what drew the penalty.
