I'm not sure how else you are supposed to hit a crossing receiver so chalk another one up for tying the hands of the defense.
But the NFL *did* say Burfict hit the head. They also said there was no need for the hit.

Yet, here's GM. Trying to say JJSS's was the lesser egregious hit.
:eyeroll:
Burfict from the side...JuJu from the front.
Both got flagged as illegal.
One had a history...the other didn't.
