The refs just don't like Cam..

Play before the interception,  was a blatant horse collar tackle..  I mean do they treat or see him in a different light because he's mobile? 

I just don't get it, why doesn't he get the calls he should... I was watching the Skins and Vagiants game back and forth and Eli got an obvious call. Shot to his legs. Immediately I think... Had this been Cam. Nah, we're good, no call needed. :/

Any player on the field should have gotten the horse collar call. 

The League specifically changed the rul this year:

"

When the NFL adopted a rule against horse-collar tackles, they made it against the rules for a player to tackle an opponent other than a quarterback in the pocket by pulling him down with a grab inside the shoulder pads from behind.

That rule will be a bit different in the 2016 season. The league approved a proposed rule change from the Competition Committee on Tuesday that will make it illegal when a “defender grabs the jersey at the name plate or above and pulls a runner toward the ground.”

This ish is seriously pissing me off.

I thought the same thing but after looking at it again, he didn't have his hand under Cam's collar.  I think it has to be a hand under the collar to be a horse collar.
