Oh for god sake, you lot clearly have no idea what you're talking about. You're all talking about intention and crown of the helmet when neither of those things are at all relevant to the penalty or the fine. The rules are very clear: if you hit a defenseless receiver helmet to helmet you get flagged and you get fined. The CBA even stipulates the exact amount of the fine. It doesn't matter that Church didn't intent to hit Gronkowski helmet to helmet or that he didn't lead with the crown of the helmet, what matter is that Church's helmet hit Gronkowski's helmet while Gronkowski was clearly still a defenseless receiver.
