Of course the helmets made contact - but you can clearly see he lead with the shoulder. Better luck next year.

Dial led with his forearm and shoulder and he got a little helmet on Murray. They coach this situation at all levels of the game. Great block by Dial. Excessive? Yes. But this is a contact sport. Murray should've been more aware. See Andrew Luck.

Murray wasn't releasing the ball, wasn't running off the field, wasn't hit from behind or "blind sided" -
Once a pass is intercepted, the QB is a Defender - just like anyone else. Murray was running TOWARD the ball carrier, he was hit only 5 yards from where the runner was tackled. Dial came in high, but leading with his shoulder - of course there was helmet contact, but the initial hit was shoulder pad to shoulder pad.
I could go on and on, but yall get he point, it was not helmet to helmet.
