I can not figure out what Sanu did that qualified as an illegal block, let alone a crack back block, if anyone can explain please?
And then the roll out during the goal line stand and the eagles OL is not called for a blindside block on Bosa?

The more convoluted the rules are the more refs can influence the outcome.

The rule is two fold, it's angle and then force.
It's supposed to be if you are blocking horizontally or beyond you can only use minimal force.
I think Sanu was still going upfield so shouldn't have been called.
The one on Bosa didn't have the force for a call.

Seriously. And this was not a sarcastic post either.
I just saw the 2 fumble 2 hurt RB drive. I get those calls. I think the sermon call was against the wrong guy, the hit was clean, the forearm was the b******t. But that is a scary play, 3head shots and 2 neck shots in 1 play.

The bosa one was an elbow to the head though.

I called out that Bosa play right when it happened. Last season that was a "point of emphasis". Guess not so much this year
