In the replays, #77 of the P*ts is shown in the endzone jumping for the ball thinking he has a chance to catch it - clearly revealing he was a potential target. So...was it ever announced he was an eligible receiver? If not, he was an ineligible WR downfield & him touching the ball would've been illegal...did the refs miss this or did the broadcast miss it?

the refs did NOT announce him as eligible. i didn't notice that part of the play.

If he didn't actually touch the ball, is it still a penalty?

Yes, it would be a penalty if he wasn't announced. ineligible man downfield.

I thought it was #87 that prevented Gay from knocking that ball down. I don't think it was a lineman.
