here are the gifs I could find

To me, Tennessee guy is just trying to make a normal tackle and Bennett dips his head right before the contact, causing incidental helmet to helmet contact. He's not a defenseless player, and the Tennessee defender does not initiate contact with the crown of his helmet. The no-call was the correct call there.

Most of the force on that play was the Tennessee's defender's shoulder and Bennett's shoulder/back

That's the definition of helmet to helmet and the intent of the rule is to prevent exactly that.

I think that bottom gif shows it pretty clearly that it isn't targeting.
