(He was the one with ball, his head is twisted back). But there were a lot of unnecessary shots. For example, the play is well over in the end zone, Chase is basically standing in one spot, and then a Ravens player hits him with force, nearly knocking him down. The refs didn't seem to want to get control of the game.
Chase got sumo'd after another play was over, no call. Burrow got bent down after the whistle, no call. Higgins got almost got voided for the game, no unnecessary roughness. That game looked like Harbaugh sat his starters to toe the line on injuring us, knowing he will play Lamar next week. So he gave up the L to gain some tape, basically.
They also know if Chase/etc. retaliate they could have been under risk of suspension for the playoff game, maybe? Lamar is going to come back rusty and they're going to be eliminated...
Roquan Smith after the play runs into Ja’Marr Chase looks like on purpose…Why? #RuleTheJungle pic.twitter.com/JDbDOBltUQ
