I watched the game at a sports bar and without audio, but when I saw the play and the first replay or two, I was pretty sure that the penalty was not for tackling the guy by the hair, which almost has to be legal because tackling the guy by the jersey sure as hell is, but for yanking on the hair after LJ got up and was releasing it. Whether LJ was innocently trying to free his hand from the hair or not, the motion looked to be unsportsmanlike and deserving of a flag.
