Pause the video and click it to 11 seconds.
Player #24 is nearly vertical.
How is that not a "forward thrust" at a player who is already on the ground? It is that very action that this stupid rule is supposed to prevent. Murray, in that situation, is the very player the rule is trying to protect. #24 hit Murray IN THE HEAD with his head or shoulder while Murray was on the ground. The fact that #24 had to drop his body to go down to make contact indicates that he was deliberately thrusting and attacking Murray.
Like I said, the only reason the RSJ call was overturned was because the replay official got a front-row view of #24's targeting on Murray, which also should have been flagged.
