carrier. There is no exception in the rule for that. He dove into Kingsley first. By the new rule (new to 2022), that is illegal and should have been penalized.

I thought that you could not target the knees anymore.

Nope. Dude dove at Jaren’s legs and took out lineman in process. No call.

That is because the player was making a tackle. Rule doesn't apply then.

I agree the refs missed the call.

Likely a missed call. New rule this year and the refs, players, and coaches will take some time to comply.

Things you learn. You can’t go down to the lower legs on a lineman, but you can do it to a quarterback or running back.
