I actually already posted video and responded to your earlier post in the process. But just in case ....
Repeating this is not going to get me to change what I said.

All you're doing is willing yourself into seeing a punch to the head for whatever reason. All there is, is Schultz's face mask hitting the edge of the shoulder pads as the fist actually hits the ball.

Here's the video. To me it looks like a punch landed. However, Shultz actually dips his head into it. The punch glances off and actually hits Shultz' forearm which jars the ball loose. First video is the replay. The second video is the replay but I freeze frame it just after where I think the punch lands and then continue the video.
I can see his fist underneath when the helmet first moves. It appears the forearm might hit the helmet. Maybe the fist hit the facemask but not the helmet.You need to study that second video closely. Schultz's head moves when the fist hits it BEFORE any possible contact with the ball.
Watch it again. If you cannot see it, you should seriously consider having your eyes checked out!
Watch the direction the hand was moving and then watch how it shoots downward after contacting the helmet. It glanced off the helmet. Also look at when Dalton’s helmet first moves to the side. It coordinates with the hand hitting the helmet then shooting downward, just a fraction of a moment before Dalton’s helmet contacted the defender.I can see his fist underneath when the helmet first moves.

Regardless it ends up helmet to helmet which is not allowed.
I don’t care if a flag was thrown or not. I don’t care about bad calls. I don’t complain about refs ever. I just call a spade a spade and there is no way in my opinion that punch didn’t glance the face mask of Schultz. You believe what you want.I have a copy of the broadcast of the game and have watched this so many times now and I have not seen a punch to the head at ANY time. Again if this phantom punch to the head was really there at least ONE of the many articles written about this game and mentioning that fumble would have said hey there was actually a punch to the head but there isn't any of that. All there is, is a couple of fans that want so bad to claim a blown call by the refs missing that phantom punch to the head when there actually never was.

If you can't see the punch itself, watch the hand redirect after it disappears behind the helmet. There's no way he swung his arm forward, then redirected it downward toward the ball that suddenly without bouncing off the helmet/face mask.All you're doing is willing yourself into seeing a punch to the head for whatever reason.

All day long I've been waiting to get home and watch this on my laptop. As soon as I did, I saw the same thing and comment on it, only to see that 2 people have just made the same observation immediately before I did.Watch the direction the hand was moving and then watch how it shoots downward after contacting the helmet. It glanced off the helmet. Also look at when Dalton’s helmet first moves to the side. It coordinates with the hand hitting the helmet then shooting downward, just a fraction of a moment before Dalton’s helmet contacted the defender.
Ok, I admit. I am in Love with Shultz. I never thought I'd get over Heath.I and many of us didn’t see Schultz being able to contribute much.
I’m happy he surprised me today. Actually looked like an NFL TE.
Great game Schultz....
Now get some real shoulder pads.
I understand what you are saying but when I watch for the very first movement of the helmet I can see the hand at that same time.Watch the direction the hand was moving and then watch how it shoots downward after contacting the helmet. It glanced off the helmet. Also look at when Dalton’s helmet first moves to the side. It coordinates with the hand hitting the helmet then shooting downward, just a fraction of a moment before Dalton’s helmet contacted the defender.

It’s clear their helmets hit.
End of story.
Yes, but the beginning of the story is when the fist hit the helmet.It’s clear their helmets hit.

When did anyone say the helmets didn’t hit? The fact they hit doesn’t mean there wasn’t a fist to the helmet though.It’s clear their helmets hit.

Schultz led w/ his helmet.When did anyone say the helmets didn’t hit? The fact they hit doesn’t mean there wasn’t a fist to the helmet though.
