Helmet to Helmet

On Oct 19. the NFL cracked down on helmet to helmet hits. Sunday night there was a play that caused a stir with this rule. The Colts were playing the Eagles and in the 2ND quarter Austin Collie caught a pass in the middle. After catching the ball he turned and took three steps and two members of the Eagles had contact with him. The ref called it unnecessary roughness. I know a lot of people are upset with this call but I personally agree with the ref in the game. I agree with it because after watching the re-play over and over intentional or not there was helmet to helmet contact which is no acceptable anymore. Collie is out now with a concussion and Peyton Manning and the Colts coach Jim Caldwell hope he has a fast and safe recovery.
