Yes he did. He contacted the head. I don't understand why DBs are so stupid. Don't leave your feet and try to hit the QB. Go for a form tackle and when they slide you'll be fine. It's the attempt to launch at the QB that gets you in trouble. The QB just slides and takes a soft touch and gets a penalty.
That block should be illegal. Wow. He didn't go low, he went got on his knees and then launched into Cushing's knees. That was an intentional knee shot. I hope they take out Charles.
