Did anyone see the very last play of the game, when Brown was taken down by the pursuing defender (not sure who it was) right after he threw the ball? I wonder if that could have been called roughing the passer...

I did see that, and I wondered the same.  IIRC, I think it was probably Gabe Reid in pursuit.  He went low, diving for Brown's ankles as he chased him. The tackle occurred right after the throw, but Reid could not have known or stopped. In addition, there was a significant risk that Brown was trying to scramble for the first down. I don't think it would have been the right call to flag that, but it was certainly possible that a flag might be thrown.
