Doesn’t mean it isn’t a foul. Here is the NFL rule:

The Rule: As approved by NFL clubs in March, it is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent. Contact does not have to be to an opponent's head or neck area – lowering the head and initiating contact to an opponent's torso, hips, and lower body, is also a foul.
 
Go back watch the play. Watch the lowered helmet by the bears defense. Observe the helmet to helmet contact and understand the rule.
 

It is was an easy call per standards of the rule and the there wasn’t any controversy between the refs or players. In fact the bears defending immediately got up and pointing to himself as if to say ‘that was on me’.

But you’re still confused for some reason as if this is a debate on any level. 

It's a stupid rule. I didn't say it wasn't a rule.

We can thank liberals for crying about how dangerous football is for a lot of the stupid rules now including the onside kick rule.

Except he initiated contact with his shoulder and actually moved his helmet away from contact. Not that it would be an easy call to make at game speed.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
