NFL | League advises officials to start ejecting players for illegal hits

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 12:29:51 -0800

The Associated Press reports the NFL has told its officiating crews to start ejecting players for flagrant helmet-to-helmet hits. The new policy was outlined Saturday, Nov. 10, in a memo from supervisor of officials Mike Pereira. "Officials will be reminded this week to pay strict attention to these rules and disqualify the fouling player if the action is judged to be flagrant. Actions that involve flagrant helmet to helmet contact are the likely acts that will include disqualification. Our commissioner and this office remain very focused on the safety of our players," Pereira wrote.
