It was Orakpo who hit him but I think it was a very piss poor call by the refs. To me it looked like he pulled up but his momentum carried him into the QB and its not like he wrapped him up and drove him into the ground. Even Golstn had his arms up to block the pass and you could tell that he held back some so not to hit Bulger on the head. Its football and all this protection stuff for the QB's is getting out of hand.
