A referee from the Seattle Seahawks' 17-9 NFC wild-card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles explained why Jadeveon Clowney avoided a penalty for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Carson Wentz.
"He was a runner, and he did not give himself up," NFL referee Shawn Smith said of Wentz, per the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane. "We saw incidental helmet contact, and in our judgement, we didn't rule that to be a foul."
Wentz left the game for further evaluation after the hit in the first quarter and didn't return.
