    That really was one heck of an assist from Mack. You see OL pushing RB forward often but not picking them up and carrying them into the endzone.

    I hope Linsley is watching. Maybe he can convert his bodyslam technique into a beneficial move for the offense.

    I think that was illegal. You can push the ball carrier. You can't grab and pull the carrier.

    Seems like they allow it now. In the old days that was a no-no and would get flagged but now it never gets called.

    In HS and college it's flagged as aiding the runner. I thought it was in the NFL as well, but I've seen it continually not called the last few years.

    I was surprised it wasn't flagged.

    It should have been. The NFL rules don't say anything to prohibit pushing the ball carrier. But they clearly state that no offensive player can pull the ball carrier in any direction.
