San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree (15) practices at the NFL football team's training facility in Santa Clara, Calif., Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013.

Considering the push off by Dwight Clark was ignorned in the NFC championship game of 82', and the Deione Sanders interference call was ignored during the 94' NFC championship game. I think it's only fitting they should have a similar call to think about until they are back in the big game.
