Re-watched the Browns Steelers game...

Except for the fact that Brown was not hit in the head... yes... it's still "when in doubt, throw the flag."
We're going to have to end up reviewing these penalties. Too much pressure on the Refs to protect the skill players and the plays happen too fast. Hell, even in slo-mo we can't agree what we are seeing.
Ultimately, like every other replay situation, these hits will have to be reviewed as they have too much game-altering potential to get them wrong.
How did Brown get a potential concussion if he was not hit in the head. His head did not hit the ground when he fell.

One... he returned so he wasn't concussed if you believe in the "protocol" (not that I do)...
Gip, as I understand it any rapid enough change of direction of the head can result in the brain impacting the skull producing a concussion. While far and away direct blows to the head by a moving object orthe head hitting an immovable object, e.g., the turf, are the most common causes, they are not the only ones.
"What is a concussion?
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull.
What causes a concussion?
Your brain is a soft organ that is surrounded by spinal fluid and protected by your hard skull. Normally, the fluid around your brain acts like a cushion that keeps your brain from banging into your skull. But if your head or your body is hit hard, your brain can crash into your skull and be injured."
