NFL baby!

Nope, helmet clearly moves independently from the head. It's very clear in the rule book. That is a legit face mask.

No it's not.

No it's not.

Rule says it is.

Rule says it is.

Rule 12, Section 2, Article 14 states: “No player shall grasp and control, twist, turn, push, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction."

That didn't happen. So, like usual, you are wrong.

Rule also says you have to immediately let go if you do grab it. He didn't need to let go because he didn't grab it.

 

[eclark53520]

Is there a definition for grasp? If not(and i'm not aware of one) then touching it counts. He obviously did touch it. He did NOT release the face mask before turning it. Face mask.

You can't touch the quarterback's facemask at all, but by that time in the play he wasn't a QB anymore. So the rule switches to a regular runner's rule which states "grabbing and holding onto... etc"

He never grabbed it. His thumb hit it. Not a facemask by any definition.

He didn't turn the face mask. Rogers head followed his own shoulder as that was being turned.

I clearly see the helmet move without his head moving inside of it. His chin/eyes stay in the same place, and the helmet moves.

When exactly does a quarterback change to a runner?

When Rogers caught the lateral from another player, he became a runner.

Ok...I still see the thumb grasping the face mask and turning the helmet. You can't turn the helmet without some sort of grasp. Still a legitimate face mask IMO.

You most certainly can turn a helmet without grasping it, by swiping at it with your thumb. Which is what happened.

I feel like I'm being trolled.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this win.
