Caleb Williams got absolutely leveled by Jalen Ramsey while trying to run out of bounds. The hit, which took place in the field of play, reignited an NFL rules controversy that also involves Patrick Mahomes.
At what point is a quarterback giving himself up?
This has been a problem in the NFL for years. These kinds of flags are subjective, not objective.
The play in question took place during the second quarter of Sunday’s game between the Steelers and Bears. Williams kept the ball on a designed quarterback run to the outside.
It was wide open.
Chicago’s offensive line paved the way for Caleb Williams to pick up a first downn. However, he took his sweet time getting out of bounds after the big gain and took a shot from Jalen Ramsey near the sideline.
The Bears and their fans took issue with the hit but the officials did not throw a flag.
