Stiff arm - They are allowed as long as they don't grab the facemask

The officials sucked in that game for both sides but GB defense needs to look long and hard in the mirror for giving up 45 points to Zona.

The link below, of everything I read on this subject, did the best job of explaining the non-call for the facemask. Recall in the NFL there used to be a five-yarder for incidental facemask calls. No longer. Though the tackler clearly hooked his finger on Rogers' facemask, Rogers did not go down as the result of his facemask being pulled, and thus no penalty. But Rackers should never have missed the field goal.
