Tim Tebow: Illegal hit?

I just looked at the replay on youtube and it looks very much like the defender led with his helmet, which hit Tebow's facemask, before his shoulder ever made contact.
anybody else see it that way?

He did duck his head but he also moved it to the side, therefor leading with his shoulder. Textbook tackle.
