Here are the officiating highlights from the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders game.
Helmet to Helmet Hits
There were two hits from Denver safeties that were flagged for personal fouls. The first was on Justin Simmons in the first quarter and the second was at the end of the fourth by Kareem Jackson. Helmet hits are incredibly frustrating, risky, and from defenders generally easy to call. The one from Simmons was a classic example of the folly of the rule and how it applies to officials. He did lead with his helmet, and I would have not hesitated to flag him.
