Report: NFL says 4th-quarter hit on Mayfield should have been flagged

Betallsports · Oct 24, 2018

[FONT=&quot]The NFL says that the controversial hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfieldfrom Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead should have been penalized, a league source told ESPN's Pat McManamon.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The hit occurred during the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' overtime victory in Week 7. Mayfield slid at the end of a 35-yard run, and Whitehead's helmet hit the quarterback's head shortly after his knee hit the ground.

I guess we play against the Refs as well as our opponent ??*

I love the explanation by Shawn Hochuli here:

» The Quarterback was still a runner and therefore is allowed to be hit in the head [...] «

[FONT=&quot]Whitehead could have been flagged for one of two infractions: Unnecessary roughness for hitting a sliding player on the head, or unsportsmanlike conduct for using his helmet to do so, the league source added.

hard to believe the ref turned his mic on to say "The Quarterback was still a runner and therefore is allowed to be hit in the head"

totally agree that BM slid late so that knocked out any shot at the sliding call but it was flagrant crown of helmet to BM's ear hole

They made a similar call in the Pstriots game. Defender drills the receiver head to head and a flag is thrown. The refs huddle up and then pick up the flag saying there was no blow to the head. Have no idea who saw what or why the call was overturned
