Garrett may miss the season b/c a blow to the head with a helmet is inexcusable. But his punishment will be softened because Mason tried to rip his helmet off first for a very legal hit on the QB.

It wasn't even a late hit because if it was, a flag would have been thrown.

Suh pushed someone's head into the turf and then stomped on them. He got 2 games for that. Is this situation really worth 10 times more than that when the QB was the instigator?

You think Mason tried to rip off Garrett's helmet with no provocation whatsoever? Does he have a history of that? Sounds troublesome for a QB.

I've explained my view elsewhere in this thread.

The provocation was a perfectly legal play of being tackled hard with very little time to go in a blowout. But the tackle was within the bounds of the rules. Trying to rip someone's helmet off isn't which makes Mason the first person to act outside the rules.

That's instigating. I don't consider anything legal instigating.
