For anyone who didn't see Ryan Clark's hit on McGahee, check it out
HERE.
Unbelievable hit. Looks clean--some are pining for Clark to be suspended but from all angles, it looks clean.

He went helmet to helmet. The dude is lucky his vertebrae did not explode on him.
I was more impressed with the block earlier in the game.

McGahee started lowering his shoulders after the Steelers player started going in for the hit. It's helmet to helmet, but it's legal. If McGahee doesn't lower his shoulders, and thus causing the helmet to helmet hit, no one is even complaining about its legality.

Very hard hit, but definitely legal.

The Steelers always lead with their helmets and it's never called. Especially Polamalu. Dude's had like 8 or 9 concussions and he's been in the league, what, 5 years? I'll give him 2 more years before he has to retire Troy Aikman style. Anyway, it looks like he tried to lead with his shoulder in this case but McGahee lowered his head right into his.
