They all launched at his head. Not even trying to make it look like a legal hit. Disgusting.

They lowed there head into Cam every contact. Thats a penalty within its self but hey what does that matter when they are just launching into his head as well.

Did Rivera not even say anything to the refs?  I'm still kind of dumb founded as to how this was allowed to happen repeatedly in front of the refs.

This would be a suspension collection gif if Brady or Rodgers were the one taking the hits

the NFL is a joke.

Yup, number 48 right? Even though it was minor, if it were Bree's they would have called it.

Or any other QB for that matter.

When officials let the Broncos get away with that first hit, they set the game on slippery ground, as the Broncos were then incentivized to continue going at Newton’s dome. Newton managed to make all manner of plays when his offensive line afforded him sufficient time, so the Broncos set out to make the most of any chance they got. Unfortunately, this turned into repeat attempts to turn Cam Newton’s brain into jelly. If they were trying to knock him out of the game, they almost succeeded.

The stiffest test of the NFL’s concussion protocol will face is when a superstar takes a clear head injury late in a close game. Nobody wants to be responsible for costing the team a win by holding out a star, especially if that star is the most visible player in the league and he’s leading a late drive in a one-point game. The NFL’s new concussion policy (where teams improperly clearing players receive fines) is a better system in theory, but future-tense penalties don’t seem to have much of an effect. As long as any neutral arbiter is hamstrung by team doctors and players themselves, there won’t be any easy fix to scenarios such as Newton’s tonight. Everyone involved fuged up here, the Broncos most of all.

But, but guyz.. weer jus' conspearissy theorisms, rite?!!

 

 

(amidoingitright?)

 

Hard to defend that the refs didn't see it when they stared straight at him getting hit in at least two of thos gifs.

[Zaximus]

But yeah, everything is legit and the refs are all on the up and up.  Sigh. 

Nothing will happen.  Rivera knows it.  Why else wouldn't a coach be on the field screaming after the 2nd one wasn't called?   He knows.  They all know.

I've seen calls like that made a few times.  A shame Cam has to endure this much punishment for whatever reason while the rest of the elite QB's are untouchables.

[Lilsmitty09]

Gonna fine em but not call em which impacts the game drastically

[Millioso7]

Racism... But I don't wanna start controversy ahh damn I said it...

[UnluckyCharms]

Apparently $20,000 is the price someone has to pay for spearing other players in the head. $20,000... for players who make that by showing up to camp. These are men who spend 6-7k on a night out with friends and the NFL really thinks $20,000 hurts them enough to be a lesson.

[raleigh-panther]

The Panthers coaching staff should have taken him,out the first time. Shame on them

[Seamonk]

This is just disgusting to see tbh. Even if it wasn't the Panthers. What's the point of having rules to protect player safety if you conveniently toss them out the window for not 1 but multiple infractions. Who gives a poo if they get fined or even suspended. Some of those guys (looking at you Talib) have gone on record that they're going to play dirty and don't care. This is an absolute joke. 

[Zaximus]

If the NFL was serious about player safety, these refs would be suspended for a good period of time so they learn the rules and some of these players as well.  Won't happen.
