When I saw the play live my initial thought was Earl was trying to knock the ball free and I thought he whiffed. Watching the replay I still don't think Earl punched him, rather Devonta was twisting his body to avoid the hit and then twisted his head to avoid Earl's fist. Either way its a cool gif. But since when is punching at the ball illegal? Has a flag ever been thrown for this? Seems like the Seahawks do this all the time.
