Frankly it looks like to me that blocker tucked his head down.
Isn't that enough for a call ???

(The U also did not flag and appeared to be watching the block develop all the way) Looking at the GIF animation (which is from S perspective) and the stills (which are nearly the H perspective) helps explain why there was only 1 flag. Until I saw the still angles I was convinced this was a legal block.
