It was definitely a cheap shot going for the head.
But at the same time, I don't envy defensive players. It's like the runner going out of bounds. The runner is heading out of bounds, so the defensive player let's up so they don't get penalized. Then all of a sudden the runner cuts back and gains another 10 yards.
So when it comes to QBs, how does a defensive player know when the QB is going to slide? Do you just let them get another 2-3 yards before going for the tackle? And then when you go for the tackle and you make contact with the head as the QB slides, boom, 15 yard penalty.
Playing defense must suck in the NFL.
