I could be wrong about this but I don't remember them saying anything about a defenseless receiver on that particular play. If I remember correctly they said it was due to a "hit to the head and neck area". After watching cam newton get drilled in the head all night with no calls, I have no idea how they can justify making a call like that.
In the end it doesn't matter though, I was more curious about what people thought of the league eventually allowing challenges on penalties like that. Only getting one a game would be better than nothing.
