It wouldn't qualify as a late hit, but the rules do say hitting the QB in the helmet is a no-no which this guy did.
Or, in the case, of Josh Allen, it is a roughing the passer call when the defender just touches him lightly on the upper body with his hands and he flops to the ground (Ravens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfQYul_AQ8U) or barely touches him on the upper body as he is passing and he crashes to the ground (Giants: https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2023/10/15/josh-allen-injury-roughing-passer-penalty-bobby-okereke/71200482007/) or gets hit on the shoulder, falls to the ground, and points to his helmet as if a hit to the helmet (Jags: https://www.tiktok.com/@grantspeaks/video/7287654316540792095).
Maybe Burrow needs to embarrass himself and learn to act like Allen and Mahomes do.
