This is how Steelers fans feel watching us play the Bills.

Look here on the 2nd angle. To me, he goes across his chest albeit a bit high but doesn't make direct helmet to helmet contact. He did make some contact with his chin but didn't go for his head directly like Iloka did.

You can pause that at the moment of impact, and the top of JuJu's helmet is squarely in the side of the jaw of Burficts helmet. You see Burficts helmet snap sideways after the impact. It may not be the side of the head, but when a boxer is trying to knock out another boxer, they are generally looking for the chin or the side of the chin/cheek versus the side of the head or the forehead. I mean, that's pretty much the textbook violation of the new crack back block, and hitting defenseless players with your helmet rules, etc.

All you gotta do is turn the volume up. You can tell when one helmet whacks another.

I'm not disagreeing with the violation of the crack back. It is a nasty blindside hit which has no place in the game. I just hope there's the national outrage tomorrow that Gronk got because this hit is just as bad or worse.

This Pitt team has little chance in New England. They need that game in 2 weeks badly.

Why is it not offsides when #73 for Pitt stands up at the line 3x ?
