They either blew the call or the rule is different FIIK?

Incorrect. When calling the penalty the ref clearly said "...hit to the
QUARTERBACK ..."
So the officials blew the call. You can't call forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage AND hit to the QB because he was a RB. If Matt Forte is beyond the line of scrimmage and throws a pass does he get the same call? If not, bad call. If yes, then the ref should not have said "QB".
