For the new helmet rule.

I thought it was a good call. Probably the only correct call in this game.

We've seen some bad officiating the last couple of weeks.

It was a terrible call.......there's no way zeke could have seen where his helmet is unless he could see through the first defender who zeke was trying to go under.

Was there any doubt?

"12 men in the huddle" (Brice Butler rule)…haven't seen it since.
"Moving the ball on long snapper" (L.P. rule)
"Removing the helmet" (Emmitt Smith rule)
"Horsecollar tackle" (Roy Williams rule)
"Illegal Hands to The Face" (Erik Williams rule)

We'll probably never see another offensive player called for lower the head.

Google Kareem Hunt vs. Denver and compare the two plays and tell me who deserved the penalty and who didn't.

It wasn't good call and there were plenty of correct call in this game. This wasn't one of them.

Honestly, I dont care if it is the right call..... only because Ive seen that same thing happen about 40 times EVERY SUNDAY and it isnt called. If you are going to call it today against Zeke, better start calling that crap every game.

Go back and watch it, Zeke was shoved down from behind. That should have factored in. Imo

That was my take, it should have been offsetting or a non-call. I'm sure they called it because of the league pressure to stop any time of helmet to helmet contact. For the refs I think that was a case where they had to call something, so Zeke was the easiest target.
