Perryman's latest infraction was a helmet-to-helmet hit to Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase with 4:07 remaining in Sunday's game, for which he received an unnecessary roughness penalty.

"You lowered your head and delivered a forcible blow to the shoulder and then the head/neck area of the receiver. You had unobstructed path to your opponent and the illegal contact could have been avoided," NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan wrote in his letter to Perryman."

I'm happy to see this. It was so egregious. I tried to google the hit after the game because I thought it should be publicized, but couldn't find it. Chase had given himself up, only to be slammed in the head by Perryman. Chase easily could have received a concussion.

It was the definition of targeting. The refs and officials in NY blew it, he should have been tossed.
