Brees was not brought to the ground by the neck. Brees went down because he got hit from behind. The arm ended up sliding up to the neck, but there was nothing the defender could have done about that. He is not allowed to put his weight on top of Brees and take him to the ground.

He was trying to make a legal hit.

He couldnt have bent down just a little bit and made a clean, form tackle? Yes, he most certainly could have. He had that opportunity and went high. It was a dumb play by him.

Now you are just making shite up to TRY to look less rediculous.

It's not working.

The defender was not trying to make a legal hit. He was trying to tackle Drew in the only way he could which was sticking his arm out and knocking him down with it as he was going by. Unfortunately for him, the arm contacted Drew "in the head and neck area" and then slid up to his neck, at which time he grasped the helmet/mask and dragged him to the ground.

It was definitely a foul and will be a foul for the rest of eternity. You might as well get used to it. The law suits of the former players has ensured it will never change back to your liking.
