Without the penalty, Rice catches the ball.
The problem was that your underneath DB gave the rookie no choice but to play through the receiver. It wasn't a stupid penalty on the rookies part; he did everything he could do there to try to salvage an impossible situation.
It was an execution error that cost you the game. Same thing that usually costs teams the game when you're nursing a 1-score lead into the waning minutes against a superior QB.
