    When I saw this live I was like hey, did he just? But I never saw the replay until this gif. Looks on purpose to me.

    Definitely dirty. I suspect his check will be lighter next week.

    I think he's most likely trying to jump over him and came up short

    Like AB tried to hurdle the punter and came up short? I remember his getting flagged for that. Old man memory can't recall if he was fined.

    He was and so will this guy. The way his leg shoots back, he was trying to hit him.

    When I saw that live I was wondering why there was no flag, but after seeing the replay I was less sure it was deliberate although I am still leaning that way.

    Guess he just suffered a leg spasm then. Hate when my leg shoots out like that.

    It was intentional, it was dirty and it should have been flagged! I watched it as well and if you watch the whole thing, he does act as if he is hurdling him but once he appears to clear juju, he moves his foot back to juju's head and basically kicks him in the head!

    During the broadcast, it looked like an accident. Looks pretty purposeful here.

    Hard to tell . The guy is getting ready to hurdle Juju but then Juju started to get up . The guy would have had only a millisecond to realize Juju was getting up and to decide to kick him .

    I could see it being just reactionary. Also wouldn't shock me if it was in purpose .

    We'll never know

    you can clearly see him move his right leg towards JuJu, he knew what he was doing, if he was trying to avoid his head, his leg would have moved away from JuJu not towards him.

    Should watch the whole play again Instead of a 1 sec gif , thinking the guy did it on purpose. If ju ju didnt try to jump back up so fast he wouldn't have gotten hit.

    we did watch the play....LIVE....as it happened which has prompted this discussion. Its clear the douche intentionally kicked his leg towards JuJu's head as he was trying to clear him. Its a classic dick move!!

    Accident. I'd be very surprised if he was fined.

    If he was wearing black and gold I’d say it was accidental.

    Definitely intentional. Go to around 1:50. He came down with his foot ACCELERATING IT into his head. Complete bull**** this wasn't called.

    It should be obvious it was intentional. His leg came down accelerated into Ju Ju's head. His attitude of indifference after the play further reinforces it.

    #53 needs fined

    Go to 1:50 to watch the entire vid with the link above.

    Not dirty at all and in real time he was not trying to kick him in the head. Had Juju stayed on the ground he just jumps over him.
