He was trying to the ball got in the way.

Anyone that thinks that the officiating favors Buffalo hates Damar and wishes he would have stayed dead.

If you lead upwards with the crown of the helmet on a defenseless receiver it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t hit the helmet was my understanding.

Give me Burrow all day.

Burrow is 100 times better than Mr January.

Dolphins get a stop here and possible double dip??

my dad called it 'big head syndrome'

Buffalo is just such a ****ing annoying team and fanbase.

If the Dolphin had been injured on that hit, could Miami
leave the field and fly back to FL?

The defenseless receiver rule doesn’t state you have to hit them in the head.

Head or neck area. Which was neither.

DEFENSELESS PLAYER

RULE SUMMARY
VIEW OFFICIAL RULE
PLAYERS IN A DEFENSELESS POSTURE

It is a foul if a player initiates unnecessary contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture.

Players in a defenseless posture are:
A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass (passing posture)
A receiver attempting to catch a pass who has not had time to clearly become a runner. If the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player
The intended receiver of a pass in the action during and immediately following an interception or potential interception. If the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player.
Note: Violations of this provision will be enforced after the interception, and the intercepting team will maintain possession.

A runner already in the grasp of a tackler and whose forward progress has been stopped
A kickoff or punt returner attempting to field a kick in the air
A player on the ground
A kicker/punter during the kick or during the return (Also see Article 6(h) for additional restrictions against a kicker/punter)
A quarterback at any time after a change of possession (Also see Article 9(f) for additional restrictions against a quarterback after a change of possession)
A player who receives a “blindside” block when the path of the offensive blocker is toward or parallel to his own end line.
A player who is protected from an illegal crackback block (see Article 2)
The offensive player who attempts a snap during a Field Goal attempt or a Try Kick
Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is:
forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, even if the initial contact is lower than the player’s neck, and regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenselessplayer by encircling or grasping him
lowering the head and making forcible contact with the crown or ”hairline” parts of the helmet against any part of the defenselessplayer’s body
illegally launching into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (i) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (ii) uses any part of his helmet to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent’s body. (This does not apply to contact against a runner, unless the runner is still considered to be a defenseless player, as defined in Article 7.)

Yes, doesn't matter if the ball is there or not, Ahmed is in concussion protocol because of the hit, should have been a flag.

Yeah, clean hit to me. Doesn't have to wait until the guy secures the ball to make a tackle.
