That capture was from a slow mo replay... He saw him coming sort of did ane eyes closed flinch... which is why he mouth flew open and the saliva purge happened.

The NFL needs to ban leading with the helmet, period! They should make players wrap their arms around the tackler and tackle with the shoulders.
This is a much safer and just as effective method of stopping the ball carrier. We play rugby with out helmets and these laws are strictly enforced and is healthier for both the ball carrier or the defender.

Even if the hit was illegal they wouldnt call it on any other team but us. I wonder if RG sat down with the refs and told them to keep a close eye on us.

They were replacement refs, they were missing calls the whole night on both sides of the ball... And struggled with the ones they did call
