There was nothing close to being illegal on that play. The only way it'd been illegal is if our player would have gone low below the waist or went up high to the head or neck area. This didn't happen; heck the contact was mostly initiated by the Rams player and nothing was low. An incredibly bad call.
It is illegal for a player that spread wide near the sidelines to come back in and run toward the ball and hit a player below the waist or up high to the head or neck area to create space. We didn't do anything like that. The contact was mainly initiated by the other guy, he ran into the block.
