2710147, I can understand the refs missing it in real time

It didn't really look like that much at full speed

What I can not understand, is the league dismissing this play post game

Watching the replay, it doesn't matter that it's a QB
or a RB
or a QB outside the pocket and now a RB

HE WAS DOWN.

Really any contact at that point should be a penalty

But when Clowney launches himself helmet first at the back of Wentz's head...and the first thing to make contact is the crown of his helmet to the back of Wentz's helmet

How in the fuck is that incidental

Wentz is listed at 6'5"

Reminder, he was already down by contact

How is it incidental to hit him in the back of the helmet crown first?

He literally had 6'5" of target to not hit him in the head

C'mon man...that hit was dirty AF.

Pretty sure this hit on Trent Green is what prompted the rule change to not contacting the QB once the slide is started

That same rule should apply TO ANY PLAYER already down by contact
