The Chargers definitely cross the line of being a dirty team and it works for them. The Texans not quite as much, but Al-Shahir certainly is a Rodney Harrison type.
I don't think Love ducked into that hit as much as he got knocked off balance right before which caused him to drop his head. Still Booker was leading with his helmet there 100%, and I think the NFL should do like NCAA and eject players from the game if they end up doing helmet to helmet hits when they lead with their helmet. If Booker gets him in the head with his shoulder there it's not as bad because he couldn't control where Love was. But he could 100% control leading with his helmet. So I think he should be getting a big fine. Players need to stop leading with their helmets.
I saw a kid from Montana try and lay a big hit on a Montana State guy earlier and the Bobcats player was going down and he got him in the helmet. Ended up being ejected for a hit that looked less intentional to injure than that.
