Dalvin Tomlinson fined for sack on Dak Prescott

This matches the leagues recent rules toward protecting quarterbacks from injury, however at the time of the sack the play was not upheld and not called for unnecessary roughness. The league appears to believe it was a missed call with the fine to Tomlinson.

Of course there was no flag! Had a Cowboy done that, easy call for the refs.

Maybe if I saw this from a different angle, I'd feel differently? But I don't see an issue with this tackle.

I don't remember seeing a potential missed RTP call last week. It's hard to see in that video. Wonder if there's a better angle.

There's no room for " hate" in this league....it's written on the helmets and end zone grass

What’s he supposed to do? I can’t really see where the nfl has an issue here. Looks like helmet to chest and his weight was mostly to the side of dak. The only issue is Tomlinson is such a massive human being.

maybe if we got him blocked, he wouldn't be going through this right now!!

Originally thought it might have been a high hit with facemask contact. But it's got to be him landing on top of Dak with his full weight. Forgot about that rule.

I guess they got him for landing on top of the QB??????

Let's just get it over with and put flags on the QB.

I don't recall thinking there was a problem with this tackle when it happened. The angle on the posted video doesn't seem to show anything. The only thing I can see is Dak's head snaps back when he is hit. Does the league think the hit was too high? Did Tomlinson's helmet his the head of neck area? I can't tell but maybe the league has a better angle.

landing with your full body weight

COME ON

just unbelievable

 

[Bagman]

Zach Martin should be fined for not holding that block another few seconds. Big time whiff. Tomlinson had a clean run at Prescott from 5-6 steps away

 

[Tabascocat]

He should ask Dak to foot the bill since it wasn’t a penalty

 

[Risen Star]

I'm willing to pay his fine.

 

[Creeper]

From the posted video it doesn't look like he landed on Dak with his full body weight. But I am not Dalvin's defender so I'll leave it to him to appeal the fine.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I was more pissed at Zack Martin than I was Tomlinson. Not sure how he avoids that.

I am sorry that was just weak...it shouldn't have been (rightly not called) nor a fine.

 

[Redline360]

I'm assuming he landed on him with his body weight.

However disgusting to get fined for that. I'm all about player safety however that is some high-school tackling ****. Seen rougher hits in soccer back in the day

 

[Scotman]

I didn't see any issue with the tackle. Like everyone else, I hate him getting free and being in that position to hit our QB like that.
