That is because, apparently, you don't understand the rules.
After inital contact, way past five yards, Marshall is veering right,
Revis is using his left arm to impede him. Just watch the video clip
you cited.
Illegal contact is defined as "After five yards, if a receiver attempts to
evade a defender, the defender cannot make contact that impedes the
receiver in any way, as long as the quarterback is in the pocket with
the football."
That was indisputibly an uncalled "illegal contact" foul.
Nonetheless, my suckass team wouldn't have beaten your suckass team on
Monday night with or without that call, just to be clear.
But that non-call was a gift. Jets seem to get those in MNF games
against Miami. ;-)
