The NFL is insistent its goal is to focus on both player safety Tyson Barrie Jersey overall, and protecting the quarterback. In two consecutive weeks, however, they've kicked up a tornado of questions on if this is actually the case. This time around, the controversy is fueled by , after the veteran pa s rusher knocked out of the prime time clash with the on Thursday night with an illegal blow the head. Bridgewater would later return to the game despite neck and shoulder sorene s, but the Panthers would end Ben Smith Jersey up losing 25-17.Harris was ejected for the hit, but the Panthers and many around the league want to see more punishment levied, but they won't get their wish. Harris will reportedly not be fined or suspended for his on-the-field action, per , and the aforementioned ejection will be the extent of his punishment.Here's the hit laid on Bridgewater by Harris, and it is brutal.

Bostic, too, was ejected at the time, but he will not mi s any time going forward, although for at least the battle in Week 8 with the . The infractions by Harris and Bostic are also eerily similar, and Bostic was fined $12,000.

You hate to see that." Unlike Dalton, Bridgewater will not mi s any time, but it doesn't discount the actions of Harris.

That's something the will need to consider heavily, having now decided twice -- in rapid succe sion -- to not drop the hammer when a QB is brutalized illegally.
