Inappropriate DPI Call

This play: https://mfn16.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/2372#418617

Here's the sequence of events:

1) Ball is tipped by the LB (because he's in the middle of the flight path and that means knockdown)
2) Defender downfield intercepts it
3) Another defender is immediately called for defensive pass interference

First problem: Because of #1, #3 could never happen. DPI can only be called when the ball is in the air and the receiver has a reasonable chance to catch the ball. If a penalty occurred before #1, then it would be defensive holding since the defensive player would have preventing the offensive player to be in position.

Second problem: #1 is not recorded at all by the game.

Third problem: #3 happens after #2 so the DPI penalty occurs after the ball has been intercepted

1-10-TBY 48 (7:17) 10-Steve Steward pass INTERCEPTED by 24-Clifford Schwartz at NED 42. 24-Clifford Schwartz to NED 43 for 0 yards. Tackle by 14-James Jenney. Pressure by 92-John Pratt. PENALTY - Pass Interference (NED 24-Clifford Schwartz

Still flawed, but it looks the same guy was called for the penalty also got the INT. Technically it's a live ball after the tip. The ref could not get the flag out of his back pocket as it was face guarding by the DB before the tip.
