....the wording of the rule is very simple...."Players are prohibited from grabbing the inside collar of the back or side of the shoulder pads and immediately pulling down the runner."
Roy obviously grabbed Tiki by the back of the shoulder pads but he clearly held him up and didn't bring him down until he could get a better hold on him. Very good non-call. Obviously the way he made the tackle Roy understands the language in the rule.
It's a stupid rule to begin with and it's obvious the officials aren't calling it, but in this case Roy was clearly within the rule as it's written.
