Den Lac fair catch

I don't know the rule book in all detail but why didn't officials throw a flag on last punt chargers? Punt reciever waives for a fair catch and Chargers player pushes Broncos player into the punt reciever resulting in a muffed punt. Is it just allowed because the player-touch was made by a own player?

It's a fair catch. You dont have to block the tracker.

As long as no punting team player makes physical contact it’s fair game. A receiving team player can be blocked into the returner, it’s their job to avoid contact with one another.

When I played the returner was supposed to yell “Peter” over and over to signal to the blockers that they were in danger of making contact with the ball or the returner and that was the signal to vacate the area

Why block on a fair catch anyways, ball can't be advanced?

On a regular return, the rule makes sense I guess but is still bushleague.

But interference on a fair catch should always be interference. Fair catch is basically a dead ball play. Should not be allowed to push any player into the kick returner who signaled for a fair catch, period.

 The blocker doesn't know it is a fair catch. He can't hear the receiver wave his hand. lol.
