He merely made the tackle to end the play! The ball carrier was not gonna go out of bounds on his own. Furthermore, it showed excellent hustle on his part to chase down the play on the far side of the field from where he lined up. Good job by Jared, whereas the referee should be fined by the league for making such a shockingly absurd call! Ridiculous.

Flags fly if the defense looks at the offense too sternly.

Griffin is coming in for the tackle and Cutler fell into his helmet.

He was falling to the ground as Griffen was going to tackle him. Just like there is no helmet to helmet penalty when the runner lowers his head. And the bad call on Allen’s out of bounds hit. He had not steped out of bounds yet, even the anoucers thought it was a bad flag, and they are never for the Vikes.

Florio jumps the gun again. Hey Florio, any Kluwe updates? I think there has been only one today!
