In super slow-mo, he leads with his helmet into the opponent’s neck.
I would deem that to be illegal; however I don’t have the current version of the NFL rule book handy. |

This. It's blatantly illegal. It's not even remotely freaking CLOSE to legal.

Russell Wilson is going to get some defensive players killed if he keeps this up.
(Shrug.) I wouldn't say it's illegal.

And you guys are right, it wasn't helmet to helmet. It was helmet to facemask.

Well, no, I mean if it's an important play that really helped the Seahawks out then the launching and leading with the helmet on a defenseless receiver all becomes totally legal... Dude, it's seriously not even close. I don't care if the dumbass refs called it or not, it's clearly illegal. In 1975 it was legal, I'm sure, maybe even in 1995, but here in 2012 it ain't.

He hit him in the chest...just because his head goes back doesn't mean he was hit in the neck or head...it's legal...

Well...what's funny IMO is the cowboys were flagged on that play for a nit picky hit out of bounds...the block was so good that no one payed attention to player that was flagged.
