That was as clean and as good a hit by a Safety as can be under today's NFL rules. I can't believe the officials flagged Williams for that! He hit him with his shoulder - it was a shoulder-on-shoulder hit, and a tough hit it was in jarring the ball loose from the WR. What was the T.V. color guy, Lynch, saying? That you can't hit defenseless WRs? The WR wasn't defenseless in this case as the ball wasn't flying over his head and uncatchable...it was right there in his hands, only to have it separated away by Williams' clean hit. The NFL has to look at these overly-conservative, erroneous calls by such refs. Leading with the helmet to the head is one thing...leading with the shoulder and hitting below the head is another.
