Geez, why don't you just say Beetlejuice three times?

Did you know that when Ben's family emigrated here, their full name was originally Johnsonville?

Yeah, but it's an actual dachshund...

Go big or go at home?

Yeah, that's why I am seriously having doubts about whether that tweet is legit or not. If it is, whoever leaked that deserves a Josh Allen knee to the "stomach"

Dude. It just happened in a game this month that you were actively watching.

It's more an issue of whether a player is considered "defenseless", i.e. a WR in the process of making a catch, a QB in the pocket looking downfield, a guy getting tagged on a peel back block toward teh LOS on a pick return, etc. Ballcarriers with clear sightlines that have plenty of time to protect themselves are typically not going to get that call.

At which point it becomes subjective, not objective.

If Mahomes is running he is no longer a defenseless player and he is no longer afforded any extra protection like he would have in the pocket.

Do you really want the league to start calling a 15 yrd penalty every time there's helmet contact on a ballcarrier?

At that point it doesn't matter because he is in bounds and a runner, not a defenseless player.

He had surgery and is likely out for the season.
