I still don't think it's much different than Collins flying thru the air, trying to put his helmet right thru Roy Williams chest, and because of an errant throw, their two heads aligned and boom helmet to helmet. A lot of these hits are kind of fluky.

Is it legal to push someone in the back of the head like that?

I despise Hochuli, but in full speed it certainly looked like a blow to the back of the head.


I don't have a problem with the call on the field. It looked like a hit to the head at game speed.

When they're reviewing for fines, though, they aren't operating under the same constraints. Horrible call. Show me the rule where it says you can't push someone in the back.

I don't hate Hochuli for making the call. At first glance, full speed, it did look vicious. However, there is no way in hell somebody can objectively look at the replay though and conclude that Suh was intentionally putting a forearm to the back of Cutler's head.

And just because Suh is a freakin beast and hits people hard doesn't make him a goon or a dirty player. It just means teams better start paying a lot of attention to him.
