Running back is carrying the ball on a sweep. The cornerback comes up to tackle. They both lower their head and it is a good collision. RB goes down for about a 3 yard gain. Pretty routine play but a flag comes in. The ref who appeared to have been calling his first game ever calls the cornerback for targeting for a helmet to helmet collision. The sad part is we had just taken the lead back and that 15 yards kept a drive alive for them and put them first and goal.

It was a good thing I was in the press box keeping the clock or I would have come unglued. Our coach went on the field and had a few things to say. I shook his hand after the game and told him that he kept his cool better than I. There is no doubt they would have had to toss me.
