It doesn’t have to be helmet to helmet. Why is 22 even initiating that hit. Their FB was going down all by himself.

It’s head or neck area. Just stupid because the receiver ducked to make the catch, so naturally the DB did too. These rules put defenders in such bad situations. fricking joke

Um because you have to tackle a guy in a sport called tackle football?

It was helmet to helmet but it's not the DBs fault he's going low and the other guy decides to lower his head to take a helmet to helmet hit. That's bullshite.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I get it's bang bang at real time but they'll call that every single time.

22 pulled up as much as possible when the receiver went low. Absolute bullshite call and you see the ref wait to make the call when he realizes the stop was made.

it's worse than that

the DB was already at that level and the offensive player initiated the contact

Not if he's on the ground... touch him down. Fairly simple.

If the guy is already falling to the ground, all you have to do it touch him. The hit was unecessary, and a dumbshit play. Players playing by leading with their heads is what gets us in trouble every time. No reason to hit the guy, it wasn't a first down.

So, helmet to helmet is not the issue, apparently. It’s any forceable contact to the head it seems.

Ummm if he’s already on the ground you can just touch him and not hit him above the shoulders.

Right. How the hell is the DB supposed to tackle him when the helmet is coming right at his chest?
