I apologize if someone already pointed this out, but I first noticed this when I was watching a highlight of the game. It looks to me like Eric Reid intentionally fell on Marshall's side of the head with his elbow when Marshall was down. If you watch closely, Reid is running towards Marshall as Marshall makes the one handed catch, then he throws his legs to the right, and puts his weight on his left elbow leading to Marshall's head. Maybe I'm wrong, but looks to me like he was trying to intentionally hurt BM :(

Lucky Marshall didn't get hurt on that play.

Does not look intentional to me. Just playing football. The one handed grab made him alter his movement towards Marshall.

Doesn't look intentional what so ever. If anything the DB was trying his best to get out of the way of Marshall.

The other plays make it look like he's sliding to avoid having Marshall's head blow out his knee.

Yeah it looks more like a heads up play from the DB protecting himself than mal-intended

You can't legislate every play as intentional or not. thats a bang bang play with player's reacting to the ball in a receivers hands.

You have to control the ball all the way to the ground when making a catch. Of course he's trying to make contact with Marshall in an attempt to jar the ball loose. Nothing to see here..

From my limited experience playing football, the number of people who have ever intentionally struck someone's helmet with an unprotected elbow is zero. It hurts like a mo-fo and is a great way to fracture a bone.
