The quarterback hit that forced the NFL to consider safety | Weird Rules

- Think the NFL rules about hitting quarterbacks are dumb? Well, at least they have rules now.
In 1970, Ben Davidson hit Len Dawson after the QB had given himself up. The Raiders and Chiefs got into a fight, received offsetting penalties, and then the Chiefs had to replay the down. No penalty was called for the hit itself, and it ended up changing the course of the game, as well as who won the division.

“Are you familiar with the Ben Davidson rule?”
“Yes!”
*video ends
These guys are of the opinion that there were no rules in the 70s. What Davidson did on that play was called spearing and it would earn you a 15 yarder every time.
Yeah the Raiders were pretty ruthless back in the day (Look up George Atkinson and Jack Tatum who were assassins, quite literally), but there were rules.
They should do an April Fool's video next year like that
im from KC and saw the swine ben do his magic and rob us of the game
Otis taylor should be in the HOF for no other reason that going after the psycho ben
Whenever he says that i always feel like he should say “neither did i till 10 mins ago” so its not trying to falsely pass it off like he just has these obscure rules and their origin floating around his head in everyday convos
These 2 guys look like they’re doing an HD interview in 1985.
Very underated comment
All that's missing is the Superbowl shuffle.
Jon needs uglier glasses
Felt like 1991 to me.

The Lyle Alzado rule: "A player will not rip off another player's helmet and use it as a weapon."
Not kidding.
It really exists.
Lyle Alzado was a psychopath.
What about their own.
I got to do some research sounds like an interesting backstory for that rule
Lyle was a madman
@@bjtgaming He pulled a dude's helmet off and swung it at him
NFL: "This is so obvious it shouldn't have to be written down."
Raiders: "It's free real estate."
NFL: "Not again."
Just win baby
@@TheDreadedRaider Well, the Quarterback must not just go down. He must go down hard.
“Not use your helmet as a weapon”

U ever hear about the Lyle alzado rule ,he started the entire helmet rule. There's a ken stabler rule. It seems like all the modern rules are in place bczz of sum thing that raiders did

That's not the Lyle Alzado I'M familiar with!
The above was typed in sarcastic font.
not only was there snow, but they had to practice in 110 degree heat as well!
I would believe you if your name was Jon Bois.
They also had to travel to each city by foot or if they were lucky, by horse and buggy.
Wow! It was snowing in 110 degree heat? They had some hellacious weather back then! LOL!
back when my father played they didn't even have footballs, they had to use jagged rocks and instead of pads and a helmet they just threw on an extra shirt. worked just as good.
110 lol im in middle school we practicenint that too
I didnt know khalid liked football
Futura Free lmaooooo
I literally was thinking thwe same thing and went to the comments im surprised ur the only comment i saw
I legit thought that was Khalid
I do, yes. I'm a raiders fan actually.
i didnt know Khalid was short
Crazy but when I was playing football in the 70"'s in school we were taught to put our helmet on the numbers. Later in life I had C4, 5, and 6 fused.
Lmao "lead with your head and neck" 😂
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar it’s hilarious that people legit thought that was a good idea
Played pop warner in the late 90's. We were taught NOT to do that
When I played football in the late 00s, we had a kid lead with his head all the damn time. Eventually, he got a game-winning sack...and literally broke his neck. Dude lived through the experience and got to walk again (like three years after the fact), but no way he doesn't have life-long complications from that.
High school coaches, especially old stupid ones, took decades to update how they teach.
2:50 84 on the Raiders is thinking "you know what? That was a cheap hit. I'm not getting involved"
Tbh
Good on him
*pokes QB*
1,000 yard penalty on Clay Mathew's
Luke Wenberg automatic win to the other team
@@JIGOKUKIRA Automatic Superbowl ring to the other team
Or he could stop being a stubborn ass and adjust to the rule for now. I notice Von Miller and Kalil Mack seem to be doing fine and not getting called for it. Seems they bother to put the effort in to change their game slightly so they don't hurt their team.
Clay Matthews, who just so happens to be the teammate of the QB who whined just enough about getting injured to force the NFL to create this dumb penalty.
Oh, the karma-infused irony.
@@kyletucker1798 dawg, Matthews job is to get to the QB, and out of all the downs that he might play in a game he might get in arms reach a handful of times. When he gets that close each time do you really think contorting his body so he doesn't get penalized is going through his mind? Especially since there haven't been clear guidelines after the rule change
2:35 I grew up in the 1970s and one time I got a book from Scholastic Book Services called (basically) "How to Play football." It was filled with stuff that's quite illegal nowadays including chop blocking, tackling at the knees, and yes lowering your head and ramming with the top of your helmet.
(Almost) Everything (fun) my HS coaches taught me to do... is now illegal.
The biggest takeaway from this video for me is that offsetting penalties is super clumsy. It should only happen for certain penalties that actually impact the integrity of the play, like there’s defensive pass interference while an OL is holding. Sure.
But re-doing a play because some dudes got into a fight AFTER the play? Cmon man.
That part of the rules needs to be more nuanced. I saw this happen twice in the last week of NFL games, where an offense has to replay a down where they made a great play because of penalties that little to do with the actual play.
There should be the option to offset the penalties after the play is taken into account, not render the entire play void.
Rich Affinito Only 1 penalty can be accepted against a team on a given play, so even if there are 10 penalties, 9 of them are irrelevant no matter what. Why should it be different with offsetting penalties? If both teams committed penalties, no matter how many, the play shouldn't count anyway. So just scrap it and start over. Isn't that fair?
Unlimited Power p
They did. Now if offsetting penalties happen after the play the play counts but the penalties don't
@Rich Affinito while i agree somewhat that is an invalid argument, if you steal and murder, in this case you only get jail time for one of those ao that changes it
Rich Affinito Comparing a penalty in football to murder? Just wow. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Surprised I have to even say that.
"This new roughing the passer rule in the NFL-"
"-is awful."
Understatement of the year right there folks.
it’s stupid how the new rule affects the game
I'm tired of people complaining about this. It's a rule right now, get the hell over it and learn to work around it.
"But it's impossible!"
Really? Because you know who HASN'T gotten called for it? Von Miller, Kalil Mack. Anyone on the New England Patriots. In other words the people who give enough of a @#
@@kyletucker1798 you're a new school nerd,this ain't football kid
So a guy did omg into a quarterback’s back lead to the most BS flag in the history of football. For example Mathews getting called for landing on the quarterback with most of his body weight when if you would look at it without there positions you would see a normal tackle but this rule now wants player to tackle quarter backs by talking them by the waist or legs which if the player goes for the leg it can lead to more injuries than a normal tackle.
Im glad that i am an fan of fotball(soccer), There the rule is: You can only tackle the ball, not the player
I watched this game as an 11 year old kid. It was one of the most exciting games I ever watched. George Blanda tied that game with a 48 yard field goal!!
Anybody else notice, at 2:44, #30 on the Chiefs (the third man in) punches Ben Davidson in the crotch, and then follows it up with multiple cleat-kicks?
MrNicholas7 not just that but also throws a uppercut to other raider
After that hit, dude deserved his teeth kicked in
Good.
Gloster Richardson is his name...
Johnny Caged his ass. Bicycle kicks from hell
The Raiders did not win the game. George Blanda hit a last minute field goal to tie the game at 17. There was no regular season overtime then.
Still though ONLY this type of bs can happen to the chiefs i swear
Light Yagami anything bad that has happened to a team worse has happened to Detroit and Buffalo
That's Right!!!!
Noah Llorens not buffalo, but Detroit maybe.
Also the QB was their kicker George Blanda
A year or two after this new rule was in, I watched the Cowboys' Harvey Martin absolutely cheap-shot a quarterback well after the play. The QB had to leave the game. On the next play, the other team ran a simple handoff, and EVERYONE just went after Martin - going for his head, diving at his knees, etc. Even the sub QB went in head-first trying to hit him. Poor Harvey never had a chance. The referees stayed completely out of the way until the pile cleared. Martin had to leave the game, and that was the last you saw of him that day.
First day of football
Myles Garett’s coach : Don’t use your helmet as a weapon.
Myles Garett: Cool I need to grab someone else’s helmet to use as a weapon. 😈
Modern problems require modern solutions
Am I missing something? He said the play was allowed, but after he dives into the QB, the ref was pulling for his flag to throw. The biggest problem was the offsetting fouls causing to replay the down. The penalties happened AFTER the play and should be assessed as such (as they are today.)
Nicholas Kent that’s literally what the rule was made because of. After this hit, the NFL changed their rule book so the penalties would be assessed after, giving the Chiefs the win (had the game been played with the new rule set)
@@NimdaChayse After that hit...and 6 more years of hits like that from many players. But yeah, Nicolas Kent is correct. That play was not allowed even before the rule was created. The ref immediately pulled his flag when the grounded hit was made, so that hit wasn't allowed even before that specific rule was made.
Yeah, the new rule that the video talks about would have no effect here. Davidson was already flagged, then KC were flagged for retaliating like idiots. The important rule change is that penalties after the play is dead (like KC players retaliating) do not result in a replay of down, so KC would get their first down. THAT is the rule change I want to hear about, because the Raiders took advantage of a bad rule loophole: If a play doesn't go your way, pick a fight immediately and maybe offsetting penalties will cause a do-over. Get on that Weird Rules!
First thing I learned in football was to use my helmet as a weapon. Back in the day it was called "spearing" and it was illegal...ish. Illegal being defined by 'Did the ref throw the flag?'
They told us “For the love of god, whatever you do, never use your head as a weapon. You will break your neck and be paralyzed for life or die.” Different times :)
Wait wouldn't both penalties have been dead ball fouls? Meaning that the fouls offset after the first down. Why did that result in 3rd down being replayed?
I like how Ryan looks like he can both bench 285 and eat 35 hotdogs in 10 minutes
One little thing you forgot to mention. Back then you were not officially down until the other team touched you. The whistle was not blown until you were "Down by Contact". The concept of stopping a play because of something like "forward progress" , or "in the grasp" is still rather new.
That Raiders Chiefs rivalry was one of the nastiest ever. Up until the Raiders moved to LA the entire Chiefs team would wear their helmets for the entire game, even the guys who were never going to play. The Raiders fans were very fond of throwing AA and AAA batteries from the stands. One time in Oakland in the late 60's the The Chiefs scored to go a head right before half time and it angered the Raiders fans. When KC came out of the locker room to start the second half all the benches and tables on their side of the field had been broken into tiny pieces by fans who went back to their seats to enjoy the second half when they were done with their redecorating.
Chiefs vs Raiders
I'm fairly certain the game ended in a 17-17 tie.
George Blanda who I believe was around 72YO at the time kicked about a 50 yard FG on the final
play to tie it up.
As payback, and I believe it was the next year Buck Buchanan picked up Blanda(who also played QB) and attempted
to plant his head two feet into the turf there at old Municipal Stadium.
Yea, the Chiefs and Raiders of the 60's and early 70's was a bit more than your typical rivalry.
November of 1972, the Chiefs had just moved into a then brand new Arrowhead Stadium. It's Raiders week. Oakland
RB Marv Hubbard is giving an interview and what he says is it should be a kick ass game. Well, of course that quote isn't quite
what made it to the Chiefs locker room. What the Chiefs got was Hubbard saying the Raiders were coming to KC to kick some ass.
The fire marshall, must have turned his head(bribe), because the Chiefs just kept selling tickets. Some buddies and I went hours early to get standing room tickets, and by the end of the 1st qtr, standing room all the way around the stadium was over 20 deep. The Chiefs hit Marv Hubbard wherever he went, and they hit him as hard as was humanly possible. The Chiefs won(27-14), Hubbard did survive, but only because the Raiders took him out of the game, and when they did there were 80,000+ chanting "we want Hubbard", There isn't much tape from the Roman Coliseum, but if there were.....Of the thousands of sporting events I've been to, that is still the most memorable game.
Dan Paul Thank you for this tale. I wish we could see football a little more like this nowadays.
Thats crazy
But yeah screw the raiders

@@FlyRiverFly I sense a hint of sarcasm in your reply, so I'm going to leave it alone because I don't think it says what it actually says 😂
But the tie kept the Chiefs out of the playoffs by 1 game.

This channel and its content are vastly underrated. Much Bless guys and gals.
This game was nationally televised back in 1970, and I remember seeing this at the ripe old age of 12.
I also watched the Heidi game at 10 years old.
I also saw the Ice Bowl game in 1967 at 9 years old.
Saw the first Monday Night football game in 1971 at 13.
My earliest recollection of the NFL is watching Y.A. Title QB the Giants around 63 or 64?

That's crazy they had to replay 3rd down when the play was already over and the penalties happened after the play was dead.
I used to live in Pleasanton. John Maddens used to watch our foirball team & his daughter was at Foothill High School. I delivered Raiders & Niners newspapers. Ben Davis arms were huger than my leg. He was seriously huge. Its a violent sport. Rules are needed.
The intimidation factor played alot in football back then the threat of a qb getting slammed after he threw the ball would make him release the ball early

5:27 Khalid turned into a philosopher for a bit there
Poopy
Hell yeah, excellent set.
I love the "GUCCI" at the end, nice reference to movie Eighth Grade
Raiders again and I see you have Lester Hayes changing the stick um rule. Told you ,John Maddens raiders were the dirtiest teams and inspited a lot of rule changes.. You failed to mention the raiders and chiefs had a gigantic rivalry in the 70's. Some of those games were epic, and incredibly brutal.
Karen you know your football. That rivalry during the 60's was by far the bloodiest. The fights those two teams had were always bench clearing brawls. You could also count on a few fans getting involved with whoever the visiting team was. Definitely a thing of beauty. A.F.L. during the 1960's was a free for all. Nothing more beautiful than when these teams walked off the field at the end of the game with blood running down their faces and a few teeth missing.
The Colts and Patriots game yesterday was the worst call I have ever seen. If you don't know what I'm talking about, a D-Lineman stuck his hand up as Brady was throwing and did not hit him, tapping on his helmet not with force btw and he got called for roughing the passer. They seriously need to change the penalty or they might as well play flag football for the QB.
You can't challenge penalties.
We’re just not gonna talk about how deep that got at the end with imperfections
Really loved the "gucci!" at the end there
Is this the same rule that gronk broke last year when he dove on to White on the bills after he got a pick?
trumpetperson11 defenseless players are to be touched down, not elbow dropped into oblivion by steroidal giants. Yep that rule.
Whyflyy305 steroidal? Gronk is skinny for a TE TB12 method is rotting him away
While the hit was wrong, if you rewatch that play, the defender was dragging Gronk's Jersey the entire play, and in clear view of the refs, yet no flag was ever thrown for it. While I dont agree with what gronk did, I do understand why he would be angry.
Are you trying to justify someone doing intentional physical harm to another human, because he didn't get a call in a meaningless game, and at the end of the day just a GAME. That's like trying to justify someone who beats someone else up for pissing them off. It just not right, there shouldn't be any justification for physical harm, because you can't control your emotions. Even in more physical sports, do you think it would be OK if Pacquiao had put a cheep shot on Mayweather when he was leaving the ring just because he was mad. People gotta stop justifying cheep shots before someone ends a career.
He's not justifying it at all. Laying out a possible cause is not the same as justification. One of the jobs of a ref in any sport (well, maybe not so much hockey) is to notice that a situation is heating up between players and prevent it from blowing up. I think it's totally fair to point out that both things happened. What's the point of a rule if you don't even bother understanding what might break it?
The NFL made me start watching baseball again.
4:52 That's Tomcist, good video :)
I only heard about Roughing the Passer via this video pretty much (I don't follow sports really, love this channel) and I thought it was "rough in the pasture" before someone corrected me...
That’s a different penalty when you kick up too much dirt out of the field.
Of course this rule has been rendered obsolete on artificial turf
Great content. Format is like pulling teeth. Typical SB Nation, just tell the damn story

(Insert angry old person complaining about nfl being soft)
The NFL needs to start being honest with its players and prospects, and just tell them, no it's not safe. It is a very violent sport, and just because you're wearing a helmet and padding doesn't mean you run the risk of serious injury by playing this sport. The NFL spends all this time, energy, and money into trying to make the game "safe," and now the sport is in serious trouble, as schools all over the country are shutting down their football programs because parents don't want their 17-year-olds getting brain damage. I think the governing body of gridiron football needs to tell the players that the game is *not* safe, and personal safety is the players' responsibility. This would mean players would take more care in their hits and tackles, and the rule book wouldn't have to keep adding more and more new no-nos. In both codes of rugby football, the players wear NO padding, and nobody in the governing body of that sport is telling anybody that the sport is safe. Head injuries are NOWHERE NEAR as rampant as they are in American football. Certain kinds of tackles are illegal, but the players take their own safety into their own hands, and they don't take any undue risks with their bodies. The NFL needs to stop treating its players like children.
Ruben T well...it’s also protecting the product (players) to keep them on the field (playing) for the entertainment value and the revenue.
If you don't want to get hit in the head with a hammer then don't play football. Bashing skulls is tradition. Taking hammers out of the game would be a disgrace, and would make my life on the couch significantly less enjoyable. In theory.
Ironically enough, the NFL is "softer" in part of their idols from the 60's , 70's, 80's, and 90's barraged the NFL with lawsuits of negligence about failing to inform players of the ailments of football. 😭😭😭

Great video- but the game ended in a 17-17 tie when George Blanda hit a 52 yard field goal with seconds remaining…over Morris Stroud who was positioned under the goalpost.
After the hit, Otis Taylor came in to take Davidson out. How Taylor isn't in the HoF is well beyond me.

Chiefs Raiders were one of the more vicious rivalries ever. They were nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this happened to me in junior high, was laying on my stomach after scoring a td, everyone getting up and some dude runs in and spears me i still have back issues from it, and the worst part is the ref didn't even call it..... it was literally 10 seconds late...
He wouldn't have finished the game had he done that against one of us. He would have left on a stretcher.
If you want to remove injuries from football, you have to remove tackling.
Or helmets. No way the 'tackler' would have come in leading with his head not wearing a helmet.
That legit just sounds like assault.
Intentionally causing harm with no tangible game-related benefit to a complete non-threat.
Like, I understand why it wouldn’t be charged or anything, but that dude straight assaulted the quarterback.
I’d absolutely have thrown hands if I were on the offense team.

classic Raiders. As soon as he said Raiders vs. Chiefs, I knew...
#10 of Cheifs punched him right in the balls @2:44 lol
Have a look at the noise rule that was started in the Kingdome around 1987.
So many of the weird rules in the NFL come from the 70s raiders. They were just crazy.
Lmao this is nothing. They’ve had to change the rules like 4 times since the 70s because they were too good at something. Like the blindside block or Mel Blount mugging WRs.
Jeterfan906 well the blindside block is more about players safety. I don’t know about you but I’d take comfort in knowing that my entire back is going to get blown out while I’m not even paying attention
Jeterfan906 good? Yes being a cheap shot artist takes so much skill. Holding onto a receiver so he doesn’t even have a chance to catch the ball is so difficult. If that’s being too good then I’m just as “talented”
Mel Blount the GOAT.
Thomas Hoffman the receiver is focused on a route. It is not talent to be able to interfere moron.
I've never seen 2 more 80's looking people, like the black guy looks like he took part in the LA riots and the white guy looks like he was on the jury for those cops
I want to see more from these guys.
When he went down and was touched the play was over. The penalties should not make them play third down again. Should have been enforced after the first down was counted.
*Insert Jon Bois comment here
These guys are terrible, the depth of content is what makes this series entertaining, not the morning show fake personalities.

These two idiots couldnt have a deep thought if they were at the bottom of a quarry and they had the complete works of Aristotle, Epicurus and Plato
The real reason the league waited six years to put in the Ben Davidson rule - they wanted to make sure most of the 1970 Raiders had retired before getting them mad. =D
Why is sbnation a bunch of hipsters
I feel bad for today’s defensive players, the game has gotten too soft IMO
@Erik Lerström it is skewing the hell out of the stats too...if you are just looking at them, youd think all these 35+ QBs throwing to 3k yards is normal.
You look at a guy like little Joe Montana having to face DEs and LBs like LT with very few rules in place to protect him...its not even fair to compare him to QBs today.
I remember watching this game live on N.B.C. It was a slugfest. Literally!!!!!

Nice replay of the KC huddle. Exactly how they lined up. The more modern version is the Brett Favre mugging in N.O. QB ratings have taken off since 2013.
Uncle Phil called, he wants Carltons shirt back, along with Wills haircut.
What is so hard about understanding why they changed the rule? The qbs are the money makers. If they get hurt because a 250 lb player lands on top on them when they are defenseless how is that cool? Now, its hard, but youre getting paid millions of dollars to adjust. Same people saying this rule is stupid, are the same people not buying tickets to the games to watch SUPERSTAR QB play. So spare me. Nobody wants to see backup qbs play. Its bad for the sport, and bad for tv. And i feel bad for the fans who spend their hard earned money.
Anthony Welmaker no. Just no. The rule is bad. And terrible.
That rule makes form tackles illegal lol
Backup QBs can win superbowls.
Anthony Welmaker Wow. What a terrible view of football. No one wants to watch the backup QB play? Why not? Everyone loves the rags to riches backup QB savrs the day storyline. You probably like watching offenses put up 50 points a game. I played defense so I like watching a defense shut a team out. That's an awsome game to me. If QB's don't want to play a violent game then they can play baseball. Don't ask grown men to be nice to each other though...
@@korylooper3170 nobody wants to see backup qbs play. Youre on your on. I much rather see Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers rather than a Kizer and whoever. So idk what youre talking about. And if that were that case, the rule would not have been changed and the ratings for packer game would not have been down last year. Try again
