Not sure if you are referencing Curie 2011 or Vegas 2014 regarding the not warranting a replay, but the interference at Vegas did change the game, the ball was headed straight for the 1717 HP with 1717 waiting for the ball right in front of him. The cameraman knocked the ball back into the field of play and it had to be chased down on the opposite of the field under heavy defense. It could very easily have cost them 15-20 seconds to retrieve the ball vs the couple seconds catching/tossing would take.
