I haven't heard anyone mention the sound of that collision on the 2nd hit.

The {thwack} of the helmets hitting each other was loud enough to be heard above the crowd. If you're an official on the field and you see two players dive headfirst at a QB going to the ground and you hear that sound, you're going to throw the flag.

And as was mentioned by someone above - don't want the flag thrown? Don't launch headlong at the QB. They clearly intended to take his head off and Mahomes ducked it. My regret isn't the penalty - it's that those two didn't take each other out of the contest.
