That's what I said too, Tank was flying down the field with Smith and was a big reason he got into the end zone.

His head jerked back from the contact and even though it was shoulder-to-shoulder, in real time it appeared to be a helmet-to-helmet shot.

Considering Dallas had several high profile games this year where helmet-to-helmet shots were not called, like the Washington and Saints games, the refs were probably on the lookout.

So combine those two factors and you get a flag.

Have another look at it. There is absolutely no element of lifting.

I have looked at it plenty. It’s slight, but he does lift his right leg at the end and drive him into the ground. I don’t think it should be a penalty but by the new rules it is. It wasn’t egregious but you can’t drive the QB down like that anymore.
