Still helmet to helmet and hitting a defenseless receiver.
Below is from the NFL...I don't think at any time Nickell Robey-Coleman "lower" his head and initiate contact. That is how I see it....no penalty for helmet to helmet.
USE OF THE HELMET
It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.
Note: The tackle box no longer exists once the ball leaves the tackle box.
Penalty: Loss of 15 yards. If the foul is by the defense, it is also an automatic first down. The player may be disqualified.
