Yes he was

This hit was brutal. Not sure why it didn't draw a flag, but I'm almost certain he'll be seeing a fine next week.

Broke the punters jaw. Completely unnecessary. I hope he has to write a 6 digit check.

I must say that I will never get enough of watching Romo's late 'anti' heroics in December. I don't care if the INTs were his fault, the receivers fault...no matter. I Friggin' LOVE IT!

HA HA HA!!!!

What got me was: open field, crown of the helmet right on the chin, standing up, right in front of where the runner was going. And no officials on the field saw it. I know they can't see everything but geez.

Perfectly legal hit. The punter was going to the ball carrier.

Actually it wasn't a legal hit, the refs just didn't throw the flag on it. A missed call.

It totally wasn't a legal hit.

It looks as if he is launching himself against a player using the hairline of his helmet. That is against rule 12, section 2, article 8. Plus punters and kickers are considered "defenseless players" at all times following a kick/punt. So that means you can not lead with your helmet against them, unless they are carrying the ball. That is rule 12, section 2, article 9.

Both rules fall under unnecessary roughness and should be a 15 yard penalty, plus the possibility of a fine.

Perhaps the punters and kickers should just do a sprint over to the sideline after they kick the ball. lol.

But sometimes its not wise for them to carry the ball.
