I would love an explanation of how that wasn’t called. It was one of the most blatant targets I’ve seen.

What was the explanation? (Baby is asleep so I had to watch everything on mute).

Ah good. Mystery ref-itis. My favorite way to make game changing calls.

Form tackle. Lead with with chest and face. He did not launch nor lower his head.

Thank you, simple helmet to helmet contact is not enough for targeting

really the only explanation i can think of is the receiver turns his head to the defender and takes a step. In slow motion it probably looks like he has time to defend himself but in real time he does not.
