They have GOT to start reviewing these helmet to helmet calls.

That was horrible.

All he needs to do is write an apology letter. He won't get suspended. Shame Trae Elston didn't know that earlier in the year.

the apology letter needs to come from the official. It was obvious he hit the guys shoulder with his shoulder. Seriously..why is this not reviewable?

I completely agree.

I agree, too. The helmet-to-helmet hits only apply if a receiver is defenseless... aka, catching the ball. He was in stride for 2 steps AND lowered his helmet into the hit, like every player would do. It was a hard hit, but not one worthy of a 15 yard penalty.

I agree too, but in the end it didn't matter with the pick 6.

Can't remember which game it was now, but a couple of weeks ago a defender got flagged for helmet to helmet on a tackle....against a running back. The RB ran it up the gut, bounced off a tackle and then lowered his head as the safety came in for the tackle. Their heads contacted and the ref threw the flag. I think it was a 3rd and long play as well. It's really getting out of hand.
