Browner just killed a guy.

Brahn":2dq3h56z said:They probably called it on Browner because he left his feet for the hit, thus "Springing into the WR". Not saying the call was correct.

Still a great hit that 15 years ago gets you on talk shows.
(j) if a player illegally launches into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (1) leaves
both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (2) uses any part of his
helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/”hairline” parts) to initiate forcible contact against any
part of his opponent’s body.
