Hitting in this game. The penalty on the ben hit is whats wrong with the rules today. Textbook hit he didnt lower his head. If anything upshaws facemask was right in bens chest. stupid rules.

I can't believe that was called. That was a beautiful hit, the essence of football. Ben tried to get cute and got rocked.

Ravens redefine "physical" and make the use of the term with the Cowboys a joke.

He definitely lowered his head. Its a hit that has been illegal for a couple years now. He didnt need to do it at all either. Got caught up in the rivalry.

How many times have defenders tried to bring big Ben down without success, he's one of thee biggest and toughest QB's to bring down....if you hit him below the waist , it's a penalty, if you hit him high, it's a penalty, the defender hit him right between the numbers, there was nothing wrong with that hit at all..

That Ravens D is looking to destroy people first, play football second. I love it.

Well, nothing except for the fact that it was a blatant penalty.

the rule-
if a player illegally launches into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (1) leaves
both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (2) uses any part of his
helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/”hairline” parts) to initiate forcible contact against any
part of his opponent’s body.

------
looks like the right call/

Steve Smith - like that move with the arm to free himself from the facemask grab. Heck of a player. Tough as nails. Loved how he owned Pacman last week.
