But I think the intent was CLEARLY not to hit the QB like that. He was trying to tackle the QB the way he's been trained (get low, use the shoulder), and the QB ducked into the hit and made himself vulnerable. The "targeting" was as much on the QB as it was on Evans. Hopefully the officials will learn to recognize that for future reference.
