Green Bay Packers Ha Ha Clinton-Dix should have been

flagged for Kelvin Benjamin hit With six minutes remaining in the third quarter of the Buffalo Bills’ game against the Green Bay Packers White Chris Ivory Jerseys , wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was leveled by safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix on a play where the safety came away with the football. With the game still in reach, a penalty here would have either given Buffalo the ball inside the Packers’ red zone or at the very least backed them up after the turnover and it should have been a penalty.You can see the play at NFL.com. They list it as a highlight, but it’s exactly the type of play the NFL is trying to legislate out of the game. So why no penalty? Let’s take a look at the statute (we have only included the pertinent sub-headings):Benjamin didn’t see the safety and was clearly not in a running or bracing position, and as such was in a defenseless position. The third bullet point explicitly mentions that the interception doesn’t eliminate the penalty. The helmet-to-helmet contact is also clearly mentioned as prohibited. It clearly meets the definition of “prohibited contact”.Several Packers fans were arguing on Twitter saying it was a “good non-call” because Clinton-Dix was going for the ball and he has every right to it. The second part is true, but the rule above doesn’t say it’s okay to go through a guy’s head to get to the pass. Defenders have rights to the ball but not at the expense of player safety. Intent isn’t what’s being legislated Chris Ivory Jerseys 2019 , the act is, and it’s the defender’s job to avoid it:This isn’t to remove blame from quarterback Josh Allen. He didn’t look off the safety and didn’t throw the ball to the sideline area to lead Benjamin away from the hit. He certainly shares in the blame. Luckily, Benjamin only spent a short time in the Bills’ locker room and cleared concussion protocol before returning to game action.Bills Links, 9/22: New allegations raised against LeSean McCoy It has been a troubling stretch for LeSean McCoy, as additional allegations brought against the running back for the Buffalo Bills.
