The replay showed Kelce hadn’t moved ball when Johnson stepped back.

It doesn’t get more obvious of a false start than that, really makes me wonder if there is a league agenda :angry:

Why can offensive players lead with the crown of the helmet but defensive players can't? I know all the rules benefit the offense.

But if it's about safety, why can hurts dive into the pile headfirst on every tush push? If a defender dives in there head first and it's helmet to helmet, they are throwing the flag on the defensive guy.
No they wouldn’t get flagged because he’s a runner at that point. Unless the tackler drops his helmet and specifically hits with the top of the helmet they aren’t getting flagged. At that point he’s basically spearing which has been a penalty forever.

Big false start on LT not called
Looking at the replay of that I cant tell if he jumped or everyone else is just really slow at reacting to the snap. I assume the ball moving is what makes it no longer a false start but I have never actually confirmed that rule.
