If that is the case then it is a facemask penalty. But if you grab a guy by the neck and throw him down it is still at 15 yard unnecessary roughness penalty.

Why wasn't pulled helmet against Taysom a facemasking penalty?

It didn't look like he grabbed any opening in his helmet. It looked really bad,

Doesn't matter. His fingers clearly wrapped around the helmet for a moment.

Finger. Singular. There is no helmet where his other fingers are.

It doesn't matter if it's one finger for all of them. His finger and thumb are

His thumb isn't wrapped under the helmet. For that to be possible it'd have to

I absolutely agree. If we're having to debate frame-by-frame where his fingers

The questions wasn't whether it was easy for a ref to see the penalty.
