I do believe Peppers went helmet to helmet, so in the end it was a good call because it was a penalty- just the wrong one in my opinion.

Because the penalty of helmet to helmet is a penalty only when it involves a defenseless player. And it’s not really helmet to helmet. It’s any hit to the head or neck area or any hit leading with the crown.
