Intent doesn't matter. It's not a murder trial, it's a competition. It's like saying somebody didn't intend to hit a foul ball, so it's fair.
No, it's nothing like that. It's more like a WR catching a pass across the middle and as the DB goes for the hit and the PBU, the WR puts his head down and the DB hits him helmet to helmet. But, rules are rules and Stephens attempted and partiality landed 3 illegal blows to a hurt opponent, so a NC would have probably been the right call. Imo, the stoppage win for Stephens was justified, but u are right, there is no way to know if Emmitt was finished or if the illegal blows finished it.
