VIDEO: Landon Collins Body Slams Tarik Cohen After Bears RB Has Entire Redskins Defense on Skates
By Karl Rasmussen
The Washington Redskins have not looked sharp against the Bears on Monday night, and it's so bad that even Mitch Trubisky is having his way with Washington's secondary. Well, after a big pickup from Tarik Cohen, the tough running back was fighting for extra yards when Landon Collins finally brought him down-- with a vicious body slam which was flagged for unnecessary roughness.
I'll never understand how this tackle is an unnecessary roughness on Landon Collins. The runner is actively trying to move the ball forward. pic.twitter.com/jiQGPbeM0Z

Cohen was dicing through Washington's defense, including dusting up Collins in the backfield before the safety regained ground and slammed the running back to the floor.
As we saw with DeAndre Hopkins earlier this season, those types of tackles are getting flagged, and while some may not agree with the call, it's at least a sign of consistency from officials.
