Hitting with a helmet is not allowed in the game today. Hell, in college it’s an immediate ejection. How is that not a penalty but the burfect hit is? The game is concerned about concussions, but helmet to helmet is not a concern on this play? Makes no sense. Burfect probably should get a penalty there but this type of play happens half a dozen times a week. He led with a shoulder and simply came in late. He should have pulled up, but it’s a millisecond difference. Not a crime of the century. It’s ridiculous to see all this fake outrage. a shoulder to the head might get called 50% of the time.

Ok, clarification. Helmet to helmet targeting is illegal, but helmet to helmet contact during the act of tackling a runner is not, which is why that penalty was not called; he was tackling a runner, not targeting a receiver But the fact remains that the targeting of a defenseless receiver's head with anything, be it a helmet, a shoulder, or a forearm, is illegal, which is why Pacman was flagged; it was pretty blatent, just watch the vine I linked to in my post to oldplayer.
