I know there was some question whether there was a face mask or not. I found this highlight video and the play is at the 6:30 mark. The first and only contact was on the inside right shoulder pad of Cook. If you go frame by frame he never grabs the face mask.

Sorry. Right link added

Mason Smith was roughly 10 years old when this video was made.

Womack fought off a double team and was next in line to get the sack if the QB didn’t go down

It always looked like it was just the shoulder to me.

Grazed the face mask and hand/arm came over the shoulder to spin the QB and take him down with Womack at his feet.

As terrible as the refs were in this game that was a good no call.

He didn't grab the face mask but his arm went across the face mask causing Cooks head to turn. That's why Drinkwitz wanted a facemask but he rightly didn't get one.

I thought this was a facemask till this...watching it again, what told me it wasn't a facemask is that the QB didn't signal to anyone that his facemask was grabbed.

In today's football environment, everyone signals if they think a penalty occurred...Cook didn't even think to do that....good no call...and surprising the crew got this right.

Side question: Maason .. I assume this spelling has to do with Bk pronunciation?

The replay they showed in the stadium certainly looked like a facemask
