A regular analysis of strategy, decisions and calls that impacted the week of NFL play.
There is a difference between "dirty" and "illegal," a distinction that seemed to vanish Sunday amid the reaction to a low block from Tennessee Titans receiver Harry Douglas on Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr.
Douglas' block was legal, no matter how you look at it or whom you ask -- and despite the labyrinth of NFL rules designed to minimize dangerous contact. It is a completely different question, and almost entirely subjective, to ask if Douglas acted with malice in an attempt to "end my career," as Harris said after the game.
