By rule there's no pass interference on the outside guy when a team shows punt. http://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/2015-nfl-rulebook/ See Section 5: "Note 3: Whenever a team presents an apparent punting formation and until the ball is kicked, defensive acts that normally constitute pass interference are permitted against the end man on the line of scrimmage ... provided that the acts do not constitute illegal holding."
I'm not sure of the interpretation of this rule and neither were the announcers. I can't remember if he held B Marquez or just pushed him. Strange rule if they allow hitting a player attempting to catch a pass on any down.
