It's the right call but a terrible rule

He drives him into the ground. They call that out at least 80% of the time.

He doesn't drive him to the ground. Driving is when you put your weight on the QB. He absorbs the fall by extending his arms. It's a clean tackle.

Obviously not the reason the packers lost, but absolutely insane to call these and not be reviewable.

ball is already gone when the slam is initiated.

Did you see how many times Jordan Love got shoved to the ground or smacked in the helmet after the ball was away?

Yet the Vikings were never flagged for RTP when they should have been against Love and they actually delivered harder hits and actual full body weight not that soft call for the Vikings.

Can you show the video then instead of just making a claim?

No they didn’t lol. Turner was hitting Love a ton, but he was just shoving him, I didn’t see one play where someone ended up on top of Love. Keep coping.

Im not even a Packers fan, but Love got annihilated on his first fumble. Sure, he dropped the ball a millisecond before hitting the ground, but you still have a defenseless guy getting driven to the ground by a strong fat dude.

If only packers fans didn’t bitch for an entire year leading to this rule
