I'm not trying to be a homer, but I don't think brees did anything that warranted a flag, you see offensive lineman and defensive lineman do that every other play, no flag is thrown in those circumstances if it dies down after a couple seconds, which this one did

The refs reached for the flag as soon as brees was lifted in the air

It's all on the refs for not blowing the whistle sooner.

Captain was more than likely thinking, "Okay they aren't throwing a flag, so I have to get him to the ground."

I think the refs are trying to be consistent

Our D lineman Akiem Hicks did the exact same thing to Andrew luck in preseason and was flagged and fined immediately

Sometimes its just instinct when the game moves as fast as it does, when your on the field the pace feels 10X faster than it looks, just so happens that this one cost the vikings.
