1 I watched a number of games Sunday.
I counted 8 hits resulting in injuries.
I saw no penalties from the deliberate acts.

The one pictured was the classic 300 lb tackle with a late rolling leg lock [Kata-ashi-hishigi] of combat Judo.

Another, which could have been a simple two leg tackle, was instead a full speed shoulder pad impact to the side of the receiver's knee.

A leaping receiver was hit low in the legs while in the air. He pinwheeled 180 degrees and landed on his head for a buggy ride off the field.

Late hits on QBs after passing, 'piling on' downed runners and a set of what should have been facemask penalties were ignored by the referees.

Was this early season pruning of the offense or odds setting for later point spread sport betting?

So they've hired WNBA refs?
