That play did seem to conflict with the spirit of protecting quarterbacks, but what rule specifically was broken to cite as a penalty? You can't go low at a QB's knees - that's an explicit rule. You can't land with your full body weight on a QB - that's an explicit rule. You can't hit a QB late after releasing the ball - that's an explicit rule. No helmet to helmet contact - that's an explicit rule. None of those occurred. Other than being aggressive, what was the violation?
