Then they said "Well, we should have thrown a flag. We'll review the rule and now enforce it." Please note: They admitted that 1) It was an illegal hit and against the rules 2) No rule needed to be changed (as it was already illegal). 3) They just were now going to enforce it
Funny how that would have been called if someone like Burflict hit that RB. Shazier? Steelers? Oh, that's ok. No foul.
Great post Eaton.

“This is not your first offense with respect to illegal hits to defenseless players; to the contrary, this incident is consistent with your pattern of egregious safety-related violations including your hit on a defenseless player (i.e., Steeler) during the 2015 Wild Card game and your hit against a Baltimore tight end away from the play on January 3, 2016,” Runyan wrote. “When players violate the rules intended to protect player safety on a repeated basis, and particularly when the violations carry with them a significant risk of injury to an opposing player…you must be held accountable for this continuing unacceptable conduct.”
It was a legal hit. The world has gone nuts.
It has gone nutz Shady.
Like the end of times or something.
