I'm sure everybody saw the hit last night. It was nice to be able to enjoy a tackle while watching an NFL game. My wife and I even shared a laugh at it.

He clearly leads with the head. In fact his helmet hits Trindon Holliday's helmet, and this was the first point of contact in the tackle. Yet when NBC did the replay they never mentioned it. Apparently since McAfee didn't use the top of his helmet it isn't illegal.

If that would have been James Harrison instead of any random punter how quickly would the refs have thrown a flag, and would the fine be 5 figures or 6? What do you guys think?
