Absolutely disgusting call. There was no h-h contact on that hit, nor was it late nor was he defenseless... wtf!?

 

yeah there was h-h I think. probably because the WR is so short.

But really, how is anyone supposed to dislodge the ball without being allowed to hit the receiver as they are going for the catch?

So on defense, if you rush the passer, you get a penalty for hitting him near the head, leading with the helmet, hitting him below the waist or landing on top of him.

If you play man, you get recievers iniciating contact and underthrown balls to draw spot foul PI.

If you play zone, you hit a guy while he is making the catch with some speed and get called for targeting a defenseless receiver.

The dumb thing is Heath just hit Watson in the helmet, but because he isn't a "defenseless" receiver it isn't a penalty. 

Ask Deshaun Watson's brain when he is 55 if the manner in which he was positioned when he got hit in the head mattered.....

Guaranteed if it was tom brady or Aaron Rodgers they throw that flag. Aaron uses that little bret farve chinstrap with just two buttons and no pad too.
