That's on the 49er's...the rule mentions contact with the forearm/shoulder/helmet against the head or neck area. The target area is at or below the shoulders...unless it's the passer...in which case it's at/below the shoulders and above the knees.

The NFL has reported that ACL injuries are down from the past couple of years.

NFL says ACL injuries are down through 13 weeks this season - ESPN

Even if that wasn't so, the NFL would rather ACL injuries than concussion injuries.
