9 things to know from Giants' Pat Shurmur | LB Alec Ogletree in coverage, problem with NFL helmet rule and more

Pat Shurmur has a "very strong opinion" on the penalty flag against linebacker Mark Herzlich during the win over the Lions.

The Giants head coach didn't specifically share it Saturday in his day-after-game teleconference. But he didn't need to.

Shurmur said the Giants plan to send in the video to the NFL for an evaluation of why Herzlich was called for a personal foul penalty for lowering his head to initiate contact. The purpose of the rule is safety, but the rule has received backlash around the NFL for making it difficult to tackle.
