I agree that defensive players have been over penalized for hits on QBs (except for the bad QBs, hit them as you please) but that guy’s been headhunting all season. He concussed Josh Allen and had a late hit out of bounds on Caleb Williams before starting a fight with a Bears player on the sideline.
Again the “late hit out of bounds” is another bogus call that QBs like mahomes have abused for multiple Super Bowl rings. Unless the player is definitively out of bounds by at least a foot the flag shouldn’t drop.
Everytime there's a trick play that impersonates a dead ball in some way, I cringe because now the defense has to take all dead ball looking plays as actual plays and hit folks.
It's the boy who cried wild offense only the defense gets penalized.
Which I can agree with, the problem for defenders is the lines so blurred anymore that you have to either give up the play or get a penalty, it’s a lose lose for defense and that’s by design.

I agree, but in the play, Williams is clearly leaving the field of play, going perpendicular to the length of the field.
