NFL issues clarification on roughing the passer rule to 'ensure consistency'
God forbid the NFL actually admits those Matthews penalties shouldn't have been called, but looks like they've sent a video clarifying what should be called & the Matthews hits aren't on it. :Rolleyes:
It's also a little amusing/scary that only 4 fouls have been called for helmet to helmet in 3 regular season weeks. Defenders can adjust to that more easily, but there's definitely still leading with the crown of the helmet going on out there (often from offensive players).
