That's not the rule. You don't need helmet-to-helmet contact.
Ummm....there has to be contact to the "defenseless" player's head or neck for targeting. I said nothing about helmet-to-helmet. I don't think he (the coverage guy) actually initiated contact with the receiver's head or neck if you watch the replay.

Targeting and Initiating Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player (Rule 9-1-4)
No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 2-27-14)
