Last Sunday, during the fourth quarter, Saints tight end Coby Fleener took a brutal hit from Rams safety Blake Countess.
Though the hit was clearly a perfect example of targeting in the college realm, Countess was not ejected from the game for his hit (the Danny Trevathan hit on Davante Adams also rings a bell). He received a penalty for hitting a defenseless receiver even though he obviously led with his helmet directly into Fleener’s helmet. The hit was absolutely careless and extremely dangerous.
