According to the rules it was illegal. I gotta say though that if you ask one man at 6' tall to tackle a man who's 5'9" tall it's gonna be hard for their heads not to clash. I figure they'd have called it on us but that's just the homer in me talking there. Deliberate is the key there and it's hard for the officials to call intent. Trent hung'em out on that one
