Maybe this has been discussed, but watching the replay on NFL.com, Graham takes the hit, but the interception hadn't happened yet so it couldn't be considered a block on the return. Even if it would be considered inside the 5 yard buffer, he lead with his helmet and got him under the chin.


Seemed pretty blatant and obvious, but maybe I'm missing something.



We won, yes, but it's called "talking about football"...........nb4

I had no problem with the play, but under current NFL rules it should have been a penalty. The only thing I can think of is maybe Graham was within 5 yards and the ref saw it as a legal play?

I know one thing...after that play when JG got knocked the frick out he made sure to use his hands coming off the line past that point...

I can't remember if he was inside of 5 yards or not, but if he was, that is probably why there was no flag. It's still shocking to see anyone get hit hard without a flag lately, though.

It was definitely a cheap shot and I think the purpose was the make Graham disappear because "he's soft"

I really didn't expect him to come back in the game, and if he did, I was expecting a non-existent act. Little did I know...

Not that I agree with it, but under the new rules about targeting and defenseless players, it should have been imo...


eta: $20 says davis gets fined for the hit though
