Now that some of the emotions from the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Las Vegas Raiders are behind us, I wanted to ask our readers this question: Should the NFL penalize horse-collar penalties differently?
Obviously, this question stems from when Raiders cornerback Marcus Peters pulled Packers receiver Christian Watson down by the back of his shoulder pads on Monday night. Watson ended up hauling in a gain of 77 yards, but he probably could have scored a touchdown if Peters hadn’t used the illegal tackle on a receiver who was clearly pulling away.
