Whats with the Roughness Penalty?

How was that penalty called on Pellerin on the punt late in the 4thQ? That looked like a clean hit to me. Although he may have gotten helmet to helmet, but their helmets did not hit until after official contact was made. What do you guys say, Penalty?

All about player safety. Seems like the league is trying to take the "big" hit out of the game

Elbow to the head will get the flag most times.

Like it or not. (And a lot of times I don't.)Any kind of hit to the head is going to draw a flag.

Welp they're going to get a lot more blown up knees because of it.
