We got lucky but the commentators don't know the rule. On a fair catch the kicking team cannot touch the ball on a muff until it hits the ground. By rule it is interference. Did not know that, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, that explains it. One of those situations that doesn't come up much.

Rule 10: Section 1: Article 4- Supplemental Note (2).
"After a valid fair catch signal, the opportunity to make a catch does not end when a kick is muffed. The player who signaled fair catch must have a reasonable opportunity to catch the ball before it hits the ground without being interfered with by the members of the kicking team."

Everyone needs to copy and paste this rule, I'm sure it will come up on multiple social media posts. Thanks for the explanation.

So the commentators can shut the heck up. There is no controversy. That is the rule.
It was the Bama v/s Notre Dame national championship game when that happened. I had forgotten which game it was.
