Here are the NFL rules......
Article 8 There shall be no unnecessary roughness. This shall include, but will not be limited to:
(h) any player who grabs a helmet opening of an opponent and forcibly twists, turns, or pulls his head. _________________________________________
ROUGHING THE PASSER
Article 13 Because the act of passing often puts the quarterback (or any other player attempting a pass) in a position where he is particularly vulnerable to injury, special rules against roughing the passer apply. The Referee has principal responsibility for enforcing these rules. Any physical acts against passers during or just after a pass which, in the Referee’s judgment, are unwarranted by the circumstances of the play will be called as fouls. The Referee will be guided by the following principles:
HITS TO PASSER’S HEAD AND USE OF HELMET AND FACEMASK
(3)?? In covering the passer position, Referees will be particularly alert to fouls in which defenders impermissibly use the helmet and/or facemask to hit the passer, or use hands, arms, or other parts of the body to hit the passer forcibly in the head or neck area (see also the other unnecessary-roughness rules covering these subjects).
ETA: Stop arguing with morons. Someone email the rules to ESPN.

Glad the Saints beat the 49ers ... but, watched the video over and over again ... and watched ESPN's panel in that link.
Agree with Ray Lewis (a first for me), Steve Young, and Trent Dilfer.
Everything they said is correct.
The conclusion is basically: it's a BS call, but that's the way the league wants it ... and there is not a damn thing that a defender can do about it.
IMO, the fine is just an insult. I don't blame Brooks for being absolutely frustrated and pissed.
Y'all damn well know that if the situation were reversed and Kaepernick had been hit, fumbled ... but then instead, for that same hit ... a Saints player had been flagged then fined then Saints lost game ... you'd be furious. And to say otherwise is just dishonest.
The game is changing right before our eyes.
