Looks like #21 Mike Mitchell didn't need to try and pull Bradford down, nor did he need to celebrate while Bradford is rolling around in pain on the sideline. It wasn't a sack, it wasn't a 4th down stop, it was a QB going out of bounds - no need for celebration, especially after he needlessly pulled him down from behind. Dahl should've cleaned Mitchell's clock.

That hit wasn't even close to dirty.

Sure, the celebration was ridiculous. But, he wasn't celebrating the injury.

That hit was very unnecessary considering Bradford gave himself up and was going out of bounds.

IMHO If this were Brees, Manning, Rodgers or Brady this would have been much bigger news and punishment would be sought out for that hit

Bradford wasn't going to cut a corner or anything, he was darting for the sidelines so you really don't need to "make sure he's out of bounds". It wasn't a dirty play, but definitely not necessary.

I know you are joking, but I think Bradford would be great in Payton's offense. The offensive coordinator for St Louis is pretty much recognized as being awful by everyone who pays attention to that stuff. Just look at the way they've used Austin. Sean Payton would turn Austin and Bradford into stars.

It would've been okay if he pushed him out of bounds, but he grabbed his jersey and pulled him down - which was COMPLETELY unnecessary.

Did Mitchell draw a flag for his celebration? He should have gotten an unsportmanlike conduct penalty for the celebration, not the hit. He barely touched him. It wasn't dirty, but the celebration was low class and doesn't belong in the NFL.
