NFL Ejects Damontae Kazee for Hit on Michael Pittman Jr., Chris Hoke Believes It Was Premature

Former Steelers DL and current NFL commentator, Chris Hoke, believes that the NFL jumped the gun in ejecting Damontae Kazee for a hit that concussed Michael Pittman Jr. Hoke argues that upon reviewing the replay, it was clear that Kazee led with his shoulder, not his helmet, and that the officials should have taken a moment to review the film before making the decision to eject him from the game. While the hit looked bad in real time, Hoke believes that a closer examination would have shown that Kazee did not intentionally target Pittman's head.
