Lowering your head to tackle the ball carrier OR hitting the ball carrier in the helmet, regardless of whether you drop your head.
The “rules analysts” are worthless. Middleton did not drop his head, but he did hit the QB in the helmet. Clearly, folks are confused.
He is a foot taller than the man he is tackling. Basically he can't play defense, he is too big if that is how they are going to call it.I said before Middleton is 6'7" tall. All players have to bend their knees to make a tackle. If Middleton doesn't bend his knees then he is coming in high. Then they get him for hands to the face. It was a no win situation for the player. If you are Middleton to make that tackle 10 times out of 10 because the goal is to disrupt the pass. Football rules are hurting the true competitiveness of the game.

Thats a terrible rule. Helmets are going to make contact from time to time. That should not be targeting
