At the risk of sounding like one of the crotchety old-timers who can't believe the NFL outlawed hits that cause CTE instantly and think the league is getting softer, what the heck is this call? Chicago Bears pass rusher Leonard Floyd made a seemingly routine tackle of Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant, but was called for an unnecessary roughness foul.
What is Floyd supposed to do? The NFL deserves credit for making the game safer, but all that goodwill could go away if they're suddenly calling hits like this unsportsmanlike.
