Rules Question

[Ty Cobb]

I have a question about a play during the COWBOYS game against Tampa Bay that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

 

Here's my explanation of the play:

Tampa's QB, while trying to throw the ball, was hit and lost the ball, COWBOYS recover.  The played was ruled a fumble on the field.  Replay clearly showed that the QB's arm was moving forward, so the play was overturned and ruled an incomplete pass.  Replay also showed that the pass hit an offensive lineman before hitting the ground or anyone else.  Why was illegal touching not called against Tampa Bay?  

 

The way the play ended up was Tampa was saved by replay and got away with an illegal play.  Anyone have an answer?

Was that the next to last play of the game. If it was, Cowboys recovered the fumble and could have taken a knee and won, but there was a lame defensive holding call and they got another shot and scored to win the game. Maybe we are talking about two different plays.
