Roger Goodell, NFL Commissioner, brings in a new helmet-to-helmet contact rule after numerous NFL players have had concussions in the past years.

NFL owners and Goodell have come to decision that if a player has helmet-to-helmet contact, it’ll be a 15 yard penalty. The player could be disqualified but isn’t automatically ejected.

Owners and Goodell agree the helmet-to-helmet contact is a dangerous form of hitting and tackling.
