UPDATE: League explains why Shazier hit legal

[fredtoast]

I have not been one defending the flags against BUrfict and Jones. Those were both legit penalties. But the Shazier hit was clearly dirty. He led with the crown of his helmet directly into Gio's face. It is exactly what the rule is supposed to punish. this stuff about :lining up" is total bullshit.

And Porter should have been penalized, but at least the NFL agrees and fined him for that.
