After watching the Brees hit from last year, Brooks' shoulderpad contacts drew's helmet. You can argue about brees being short, or that brooks' arm contacts drew in the chest first, but the bottom line is that the new rules dictate that any contact to the qb's head (incidental or not) will be flagged.

I actually don't have as much of a problem with the initial contact but you can clearly see Brooks grab Drew's head/facemask on the way down. They can complain all they want but it's at best a controversial call. They certainly didn't get "screwed" on the call.
