Not sure what happened on the PI flag they picked up on the deep throw to Irwin. Something odd clearly happened that impeded Irwin on his route, but they never showed a replay so I'm not sure what.
I assume you are referring to this play, which happened in front of my section: Irwin badly beat the DB, who then grabbed the back of Irwin's jersey. The grab was brief, but effective. The jersey was stretched out about as far back as you can imagine and it clearly impeded Irwin, who otherwise would have been wide open with a good chance to catch the ball. We were joking in the stands that ref must have picked up the flag because it was an uncatchable pass due to the jersey grab. Presumably ref did not see the grab.
