It looked like defender face mask to receiver helmet. A targeting call would have been a travesty.
Agreed.

Definition of Targeting
Targeting occurs when a player uses any part of their body, typically the helmet, to make forcible contact with an opponent's head or neck. This includes:
Launching into an opponent with a hit to the head or neck area.
Using the crown of the helmet (the top of the helmet) to strike an opponent.
Forcibly hitting a defenseless player in the head or neck area, even with the shoulder, forearm, or hands.
The key aspect of the targeting rule is protecting players from high-impact hits to the head or neck, which can cause concussions, spinal injuries, or other life-threatening conditions.
The hit wasn’t really avoidable and not especially forceful.

They did not call it targeting.
I’m never sure what the call will be. The rule is not interpreted consistently by all officials- even replay officials.
I’d take the getting kicked out of the game out of it unless it is blatantly a non-football move to hurt someone.
