Shaziers hit was legal, should have been a TD

Stop crying about it.  Game never should have been close enough to win.

We got dominated

The league is wrong by their own rules. Leading with the helmet outside the tackle box like that is a penalty and Burfict has been penalized for a play with much less impact, which I've linked below. In this link, you will see that the Stephen Hill, Jets' receiver, was well established as runner, more so that Gio was and the hit wasn't nearly as bad as what Gio got.

Here's the article covering the fine and penalty:

Now here's the hit on Gio, which was not flagged or fined:

How is Burfict's hit spearing when Shazier's isn't? Makes no sense. The NFL is talking out of both sides of it's mouth.
