Wow. Shameful display of corruption in the NFL Office. Guy catches a pass, runs forward and gets tackled. In the process of gaining more yards, his head lowers to absorb a hit. He's fined. For unnecessary roughness. In a football game. Wow.

On top of that no flag was thrown . He’s about to take a hit plows forward . The NFL under Goodfella is turning into an absurdity .

You want to know something if the NFL really cared about player safety they would tell the billionaires who own the Giants to install a better playing surface that field is garbage .

And make every player wear an air bubble helmet.

I've rewatched that clip sveral times and have yet to see anything he did. Nothing. Am I missing smething?
Instead of keeping his head up and possibly having his neck jerked back by the impact with the DB, he lowered it into the defender while being tackled to protect himself. That's obviously a penalty now.

You are missing the league's gambit at grasping at straws to find unnecessary roughness in an inherently rough game.
Then the league can seem to the naked pie as if it is really concerned about safety.
These NFL chaps make me sick. Sicker than one after a buffet.

And all this time I thought it was the guys running around in the striped shirts that made these types of decisions.

What do we even need referees for? The NFL front office can just operate a few drones and make the decisions from their office.

You better not say that too loud my friend. Something like it happened to professional soccer and it sucks. Or it hasn't made anything better to say the least. :(
