Pass Interference may have been the wrong call if the ball was uncatchable but it is still illegal contact which is 5 yards and an automatic first down. I didn't see anything in Minnesota's defense down the stretch to suggest that Brees wouldn't have drove them down anyways if they only called illegal contact.
Also, major props have to go to Jermon Bushrod (great last name). Jared Allen was practically nonexistent after the national anthem and he was blocked one on one a lot of the game.
