    How the f is that a penalty? It should be holding! Block in the back maybe?

    That wasn’t late or dirty. But it was a flag according to the rule.

    Not sure what else you’re supposed to do there as a rusher.

    All right well injuring their QB is certainly a way to stage a comeback

    They're always going to throw a flag when you go for the QB's knees

    That being said that flag may have been worth it

    No such thing as a block in the back around the LOS

    Watch the replay. Dude got held around the corner and the tackle just shoves him down. What else can you do there?

    Refs only see what they want to see.

    I mean… physics alone as he turns the corner. You get shoved in the back then you are going down.

    they also "always throw a flag when you go at the qb's head" except today when they.....didn't

    so no, they don't always throw flags for that

    There is no holding if they're wearing purple.

    Maybe a penalty by the books, but he was only that low because he got pushed down that low by the tackle. So not dirty IMO.
