Let’s just go ahead and do it: Put flags on the waist of every quarterback in the NFL
If Dallas Cowboys’ defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford’s hit on Russell Wilson Sunday is going to earn a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty, professional football has been altered from what most fans expect to see.
It happened on the Seattle Seahawks’ first drive of the game. On 3rd and 5, Crawford sprang free and layed a hit on Wilson who threw an incomplete pass. Instead of being forced into a three-and-out punt, Seattle had the ball 10 more plays before punting.
