Ok this pisses me off to no end. WTF.

"• According to a league source, the NFL fined Steelers linebacker Robert Spillane $4,000 for his goal-line hit on Titans running back Derrick Henry in Week 7 that stopped Henry short of reaching the end zone for lowering his helmet on contact. Spillane is appealing the fine. Spillane makes $39,705 per week during the regular season, so a $4,000 fine is not insignificant. It works out to a little more than 10 percent of his paycheck for that game, even more after taxes are deducted. Spillane has appealed the ruling. -- Lolley

I don't know what defenders are supposed to do when runners lower their heads at the very last moment. It's an impossible position to be put in, imo.
