This already sounds like a cluster to officiate.

The hit that Steelers’ LB Ryan Shazier delivered to Bengals’ WR Josh Malone last season would be illegal in NFL this season.

We definitely need to find Burficts replacement. There's no reason for him to even play again.

My only question. Were they trying to protect players, or were they just mad a beloved Steeler got hurt trying to injure a Bengal?

Anyone find if odd they come out with these new "head hunting" rules when there is the Steelers involved? I could have sworn there was a rule already in place when Shazier hit Gio with crown of his helmet. Something about ball carriers outside the tackle box or something like that.
