I think this is a bs fine. Looking at the hit it looks like he hit him more along the line across his body. The NFL is ruining the game. The D players need to file a class action lawsuit against the league.

I don't get how this was not a clean hit. The game announcers were calling for a penalty at the time as well. What is he supposed to do with his head in this case? Cut it off or something? He leads with his arms outstretched and makes contact first with his shoulder. His head does make contact with Sanchez but that happens on every tackle.
