With the NFL preseason off and running, fans are getting their first look at the league’s newest penalty – lowering your head to make a tackle.
Raiders safety Karl Joseph fell victim to the rule, getting penalized despite appearing to make a solid form tackle on Lions RB Ameer Abdullah.
This penalty is still awful. Defenders can’t friggin’ play football. This is a damn good tackle by #Raiders Karl Joseph. pic.twitter.com/69k3Ai1G6n
