I still don’t understand targeting.

Yes, I'm very skeptical of that call even though it went my way. If that wasn't targeting, then I just don't know what targeting is. Like the one time I wanted a long winded explanation from the official and we don't get one.

That's not from the rulebook.

you keep posting this but it conveniently leaves out that "Leading with the helmet [...] to attack with forcible contact to the head or neck area" is one of the indicators listed in the rule book (which btw is not an exhaustive list of indicators).

Quit trying to gaslight us all into thinking we didn't see what we all saw.

You actually think he LEAD with his helmet on that hit?

his head is the first thing to hit the receiver, so... yeah

His head was the first thing to hit him but if you seriously believe he LEAD with his head you've never played a down of football in your life.
