Shoulder to head of Big Ben while sliding. Ejection from the game. This is one classy guy!

Didn't look flagrant to me.
Butler was truckin on that play though. He wasn't gaining on Ben but he wasn't lagging either.
I’ve found it difficult to feel sorry for Big Ben for a while now.
Looked to me like he could've avoided contact with a little effort. He regretted it immediately after the play, but he did not try to avoid hitting Big Ben. Rules are the rules, he got what he deserved.
I hate all things Carolina Dirty Kats! glad to see them get pummeled like that. But, that is BS. Rothie went very late into his slide, and Reid was already committed to hitting him in the legs, for what would have been a clean tackle, but there was the late start to the slide.
NOW! I will hasten to add if Reid, and others, were taught proper tackling techniques, like used to be coached, his head would have been up, eyes on his target, the ball carrier, and such things would not happen.
I am a Steelers fanatic, and think Eric Reid is a POS for a number of reasons. I didn’t think he deserved the penalty or ejection though.
