UPDATE: League explains why Shazier hit legal

[iowahwky4cincy]

There's nothing about that hit that isn't illegal. He isn't anywhere near the tackle box. Shazier CLEARLY launched him self at Gio; he hit the RB with crown of his helmet (he initiated contact with the top of his helmet).

It would be interesting to see what they WOULD consider a violation. Maybe if Gio had been decapitated...
