Mike Wright got the same penalty called on him that Ngata did, and for doing pretty much the same thing, but that doesn't help Whitlock's argument so he leaves it out. What happened was that the rules were enforced by the tightest calling officiating crew in the NFL. That's it, nothing more. None of the calls were wrong, they were just light contact rather than severe. They were no worse than some of the illegal contact calls have been this season, but they're getting more play in the media.
These calls aren't the problem as long as they're made consistently within each game. It's the blown calls (See Mr. Page for an example) that ruin games.
