I don’t believe that’s true since the 2018 rules change that broadened what’s considered a penalty.
What does the NFL's new helmet lowering rule mean?
"Lowering the head to initiate contact with the helmet is a foul." It is intended to remove unnecessary use of the helmet. The hits don't have to come to the head or neck but anywhere on the body. Players cannot use their helmets to "butt, spear or ram an opponent.""
Quantum, Allen is the one who lowered his helmet, not Jones. Jones also didn't LEAD with his helmet. So how does it apply?
