He dropped his head and hit with the crown of his head.
I agree with you for the most part but the rule is so obtuse and tough to write because the sport is played at such speed. It tries to acknowledge that a runner who is trying to be evasive might inadvertently cause a defender who was going to be in a legal position suddenly be in a legal position.

If there are going to be pass plays and tackling, there are going to be hits like that. I don't like it and I'm super down on this sport because I think the players have just gotten too big and too fast. There's too much force in this sport for the human body to handle.

Exactly. This is in the unfortunate part of the game category but they can't and shouldn't try to remove that hit. I get that people are made about the BS flag earlier but they got this one right.
With all due respect, if illegal contact is a penalty, and block in the back is a penalty, and horsecollar is a penalty, that can be a penalty too.

Guys do you remember the Ridley fumble in the 2012 season AFCCG? Sometimes helmet to helmet is not a penalty. This is one of those cases
Guys, do you remember this is an NFL rule: "
  1. using any part of a player’s helmet or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily

I'd say we could hope for Shazier to hurt as many Broncos as possible but that hit is being shown to my 10 year old tomorrow as to why he isn't playing tackle.

So the PA tells the crowd to behave and immediately afterwards they THROW THINGS at Ben while he is being taken off on the injury cart??? I am shocked and disgusted.
