Wrong again. Straight from the rule book:

" using any part of a players helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/hairline parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily; although such violent or unnecessary use of the helmet is impermissible against any opponent."

If the league is concerned about concussions caused by helmet to helmet, then it should be illegal for all players. If not, then stop harping on player safety. I got a feeling the refs were 49er fans today anyway.
