But here's a twist. As of 2023, that's a personal foul. Is a personal foul in the end zone a safety? I'm not sure.

Also, I think it was clearly a leg whip and not a trip. The running back threw his leg up, per this clip: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comment..._on_this_play/

Now, it seems like the rules don't really distinguish between a trip and a leg whip. I thought there used to be a difference. But regardless of that, as a result of #43's intentional leg whip, Chris Jones was injured, but by the grace of the benevolent football gods it was not serious and he was able to come back into the game. But per the rules, if the leg whip was done with the intent to injure a player, the offender can be ejected from the game. That skanky pile of feces with the #43 jersey clearly could have attempted to block Chris, but he instead elected to throw his leg into Chris's knee/thigh. He should have been ejected, and he should face a fine this week as well. Dirty cheater.

I'm satisfied with the penalty of them losing the game.
About as strict as you can get...
