Sure hope so, saw about 5 or 6 of these lowering the helmet calls and i didn't watch the entire game.
Collinsworth was his normal abnoxious self saying, "you just can't do that anymore."
Dungy was much better and was saying "well who do you call it on? The offense or defense anymore?"
This rule already just cost the Bears a Preseason game. Don't like it.

They better get it cleared up, on the play on Orr he led with the shoulder even from what i saw.
Just a good hard hit that jarred out the ball.
Iloka will lose us games with this rule even if he leads with the shoulder from what i am seeing.
