The hit by Browner certainly generated a lot of discussion and heated debates here but how about this one:

I mean, can you imagine if this was Chandler Jones hitting Manning in the AFC championship game???
Ian would need to deploy a new server farm.
It's very clear that refs are making calls based on the result (head movement, violence of the collision, etc.) and not the action because they are asked to make a call on an act that happens in an instant and the difference between legal and illegal is razor thin. Not to mention the fact the Hochulli could not have been able to determine that the crown of the helmet was lead based on his view.
If this doesn't promote a change in the offseason that subjects these plays (unnecessary roughness) to replay given how difficult it is to make the call initially, I don't know what will.
