If you hit the kickers foot after a kick you are penalized but the QBs hand after the pass is fair game, incidental, just trying for the block even if serious injury ensues. Maybe we should start coaching this for the next time we play one of Roger’s teams?

It’s part of football quit whining. It’s a contact sport things are going to happen and injuries occur. If a player is playing hurt opposing teams will target the area of the injury on every play. It’s not only common but it’s expected. Do you want them to away with any play that could possibly result in a QB injury?
It’s football and Donald made an excellent play. It’s the reason we watch.
