Should have been flagged. It was pretty bad, actually really bad.
Why? Was it too hard? What makes that hit egregious? He led with his shoulder, not his head. That hit was football at it's best. Too many lawyers in sports now days.

The DBs head was DOWN with his facemask facing the ground and he clearly hit the receiver in the facemask with the crown of his helmet.
If the DBs head wasn't down it wouldn't be an issue. The DB lead with the crown of his helmet, hence the suspension. I don't like the rule either but it is the rule.
