Helmet to Helmet contact
On a free kick return, I saw a K player and a R player headed full speed directly for each other. Right before impact, they both turned their heads and smacked helmet to helmet. Would this be considered illegal helmet contact? If so, who would you throw the flag against?
I didn't call anything because it seemd as if neither player was leading with the helmet. It was just they turned to the same side and smacked each other's (loudly) helmets.
Any thoughts?
