On Monday evening, the Los Angeles Rams tweeted out a short Vine clip of linebacker Mark Barron sacking Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, except the clip clearly shows an illegal hit.
The sack happened during the Rams’ 13-10 loss to the Panthers in Week 9. While the hit clearly looks dirty as a helmet to helmet collision on a quarterback in the pocket, the Rams must’ve missed that fact in the celebratory tweet:

The Twitter account @seattlerams_NFL was the first to spot it and provided a still of the clip to verify the helmet to helmet contact:
Did the @RamsNFL just tweet out this vine showing clear helmet-to-helmet contact by Barron?
