VIDEO: Randall Cobb Called for Ridiculous Penalty on Completely Legal Blindside Block
By Michael Luciano
It really is quite astounding how committed the NFL is to getting in their own way on what should be simple officiating decisions. Dallas Cowboys receiver Randall Cobb was the latest victim of the NFL's quality officiating shortage, as he was called for an illegal blindside block despite the fact that his form was nearly textbook and totally legal.

Note to all NFL players. If you lightly lean into someone's shoulder, that's an illegal block, even if you end up taking most of the damage on the play.
