The anticipated result, according to executive vice president Troy Vincent, is to “ensure consistency in officiating the rule.” In a statement, Vincent announced that the NFL competition committee had sent a video to teams that would clarify legal and illegal hits against the quarterback. The video, also released publicly, showed four examples of hits that will still draw a foul, including one that broke the collarbone of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers last season.

In what will be his final start of the year, he needed to last through the seventh in order to make it to 155 innings and receive the bonus. But he was tossed by home-plate umpire Vic Carapazza in the bottom of the sixth inning after throwing a 92.5 mph cutter into Tampa Bay Rays catcher Jesus Sucre’s left leg.
