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?

Yeah, was wondering the same thing. Shazier injured himself. Reminded me of the hit put on Bernard a few years ago, which wasn't flagged then even though it was clearly spearing, which has been against the rules for a long time.

Shazier had a history of doing this but league didn't care until Shazier put himself in the hospital.
