Tennessee Titans safety Bernard Pollard has a reputation around the league as a heavy-hitter and player that will make you pay for coming across the middle, and that is likely why he earned a flag for a big hit on Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker on Sunday afternoon.

Pollard laid Decker out with a perfectly clean hit after leading with his shoulder, but the referees threw a penalty for a helmet-to-helmet blow and hitting a defenseless receiver. It’s a shame that these calls aren’t reviewable, because the penalty was a costly one for Tennessee.

Here is a look at the hit:
