yeah he did, and of course he draws the flag.

And he isn't even a member of our team.

I really like the guy, but there is a different forum for this.

That was a heinous flag. I can't believe the announcers defended it.

So many negative nancies on these message boards

apparently he is drawing the most penalties on the team, not surprising

It was a pure shoulder to shoulder hit with absolutely no contact with the helmet (not even incidental contact). Bad call and he certainly won't be fined for it.

Nice hit.

I'd say that looks "closer" to HTH than Kam's hit on VD.

I miss Browner...sometimes.

Edited - the vine clip made it seem like the ball had just arrived

They probably called it on Browner because he left his feet for the hit, thus "Springing into the WR". Not saying the call was correct.

Still a great hit that 15 years ago gets you on talk shows.

Nah, read the rule. Unnecessary roughness for "launching" still requires making contact with your helmet. Browner led with his shoulder and made contact with the defenseless receiver's shoulder.

(j) if a player illegally launches into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (1) leaves
both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (2) uses any part of his
helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/”hairline” parts) to initiate forcible contact against any
part of his opponent’s body.
