Shazier was guilty of spearing (a.k.a targeting with the crown of the helmet) pretty flagrantly. He launched himself leading with his helmet right at Gio's head. 

I disagree. I think it was their insistence on that he never "lined up" the hit as to why it was legal even though there's not even a hint of the idea of lining up in the rules as to what made their defense "sillier".
