And here we go with the Regular Season Fine Blotter, Week 1 Edition

Apparently, this has forwarded some discussion -- the illegal tackle was made inside the 2-yard line, preventing a Touchdown.

At that point, the Touchdown should be awarded by penalty, as it's no different than a guy coming off the sidelines to illegally tackle somebody who's free for a score -- and that DOES award the score.
