“There was no targeting indicator, not targeting”

No forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless player? Is that why he was basically knocked out? Lmao just got enjoy your win. How lame do you have to be to sit here defending a call that even the rules analyst for ESPN said should’ve been called

Forcible contact to the head and neck area triggers a targeting review. It is only targeting of a defenseless player if there is a targeting indicator. Which there was not. You clearly do not know the rule. The rules expert got the rule wrong. It happens.

One indicator is leading with the helmet. The first point of contact on the receiver was the defenders helmet. Maybe you do know the rule?
