ANY time the QB gets hit in the head in the NFL it is a foul, it is very obvious in the rule book. They protect the QB more than the NF, or NCAA. Great call by a great official.

I totally agree. Whether or not you like the protecting of the QB that the NFL has taken to the extreme, that was the right call by the rules. It would definitely have been a foul on a 1st down play in the 2nd quarter of a game in September...it should be a foul on 4th down in a playoff game.
