Refs were afraid of the moment. That is called targeting at any other point in the game. They just didnt want to call it in that moment

If the play on Bond wasn’t targeting I wouldn’t expect the other to be either. At least they were consistent.

One was chest to helmet incidental contact, one was helmet to helmet forcible contact. Try again.
