Case in point, with about a minute to go in the first half of this same game, 36 for Cin hit 11 for Pit after 11 caught the ball over the middle. The defender led with his shoulder pad, and was flagged. It was a clean hit, except for the fact 11 lowered his head, which caused 36 to brush his facemask when he got tackled. There was a 15 yeard personal foul called. So, are defenders supposed to get out of the way and let a WR own the middle of the field? Not make the tackle and let the offense get a bigger play? What are a defenders options in that situation? It's absolute horseshit that that is considered a penalty...
