Was anyone penalized for the head-to-head contact? (That clip was all the football I’ve watched, this year.)

My first thought was well, and I haven’t watched since the kneeling business. 😁

Thinking back, I watched a couple of regional HS games... because they preempted my usual shows.

I live in KC and my north facing dining room window is frosted over on the inside. I know it’s colder in other places, but the wind and wind chill sure is doing a number here!

Interesting point

It appears to me the KC guy dropped his head and initiated the head to head on the . tackler. It's usually the other way around and the one who drops their head is penalized.

I’d say the helmet did its job and kept mahones head from sustaining serious injury even if it broke.

If you play pickleball, you’ll know that the ball is very vulnerable to cracking in cold weather.

Chargers / Bengals playoff 1981. I was a Charger fan and I was livid that Rozelle didn’t cancel. -58 windchill. 2 people died in the stands. Insane.

I’ve seen QBs benefit very well from taking fairly minor helmet to helmet contact. Seems they should pay a price for initiating it.

Seems like a flaw in the rules. The QB can take advantage of it and run the ball.
