IIRC Gino took three, possibly four, steps with the ball before Shazier hit him. It looks bad, it doesn't hurt any less, but it's not a penalty. Exact same thing happend against Baltimore when Clark laid out McGahee.
I was correct, it was four steps, he'd clearly established himself as a ball carrier when he got hit, hence no penalty, no fine and no suspension. If they do fine him it'll be a sop to Cincy as the hit was legal.
