In conclusion, none of this is about player safety. The league plays favorites and doesn't care as much if certain teams do things that could seriously injure other players. Any Bengal who waved for a fair catch and speared anyone like that would've been ejected. I wish that I could find a better video of it somewhere, because he called for a fair catch before trying to break #30's jaw. It's the epitome of stuff that they're trying to clean up with the new rules, and their response was pathetic.
Meanwhile Burfict gets fined for sneezing in someone's general direction. Utterly absurd at this point that he's not even allowed to tackle.
