Hasselback's tackle, I believe shouldn't have been called. I think from the ref's vantage point he thought Hasselback was putting a cut-block on one of the blockers, when after seeing it from a different angle, it showed he was trying to tackle the ball carrier low--which is legal.
Alan Faneca got called / penalized for that same type of tackle after an interception in a Steeler game earlier this season so seeing Hasselbeck get a penalty for it didn't upset or surprise me too much. Faneca too was making a tackle on the interceptor and also took out a blocker, like Hasselbeck.
