The same thing happened against the Cards with us last week. They got called on a helmet to helmet when it was just a perfect shoulder pad to shoulder pad.
I didn't realize that any shoulder to shoulder hit could be called unnecessary roughness.

Who knows anymore. I know I've seen a lot of "defenseless receiver" calls that weren't anywhere close to helmet to helmet hits, but I couldn't even begin to describe what is and isn't legal at this point.
