re: You decide if the HIT was dirty. Slow motion at the end

There is absolutely no question whatsoever that Boyd led with his helmet. That is quintessential helmet to helmet contact on a completely defenseless receiver. He would have been fined and potentially suspended in the NFL.

In the NFL, that is a mid-range 5 digit fine ($25-50K depending on the player and his salary/past).
And, it was textbook illegal. If they had a video rulebook to show exactly what is meant by a rule, this hit would be the video associated with the "illegally launching yourself in a helmet-to-helmet collision against a defenseless receiver" rule. This is exactly why the rule was put in the books in the first place.
Having said that, I don't know if I'd call it "dirty". It's one of those spur of the moment jobs. Now, had the ball been past Tolliver for a second or two and then the player had done the same thing, I would say it was dirty. And, it was clearly a missed call on the part of the officials and they should be graded accordingly.
