Although both hits described in the article in Saturdays game were flagged neither appeared to be illegal, especially the first one.

When you catch and have as many balls thrown his way, the chances of taking shots are also increased. Many hits aren't overtly intentional or even illegal. Any that are should draw a quick flag. Before long, they'll be calling touch fouls like they do for QB's

The first one was ridiculous. The second one looked bad but I didn’t appear to be helmet to helmet.

They obviously appeared illegal to the ref or they wouldn't have flagged it. The reffing was absolute dog shit in that game and these might have been questionable calls, they definitely weren't egregious.
