I honestly do not see how this is a flag worthy play.
Clay was square, head across the body.
To me, he did not hit him very hard!
Real last name!

If the refs are going to call roughing on Kendricks, then they absolutely have to call it on Matthews also. The refs were consistent and that's what you want.

Should've phrased the question as "Should Kendricks AND Matthew's have gotten flagged..." Both led to points and unfortunately for the Packers it led to a tie game. Doesn't mean if should not have been called. Unless were going to place flags on the quarterbacks I do believe they were both clean hits but if your going to call it, it better go both ways. Side note, Green Bay got away with holding all day long.

From the back official's view point, Clay's arm was under Kirk's leg as they were going down, so in the moment, it may have looked like a pile drive. But I still voted no.

Inconsistency continues to be the NFL's biggest problem, and not just with regard to penalties.

Lets look at Barr's hit on Rodgers last year...which one should have been flagged?
