The NFL said Harrison's hit was illegal because he violated a rule "that prohibits defensive players from using their helmet against a passer who is in a defenseless posture, including by "forcibly hitting the passer's head or neck area with the helmet or facemask."
"They didn't even call helmet-to-helmet; they called roughing the passer," Harrison said. "He took off running with it and, at the last second, he like chuck-and-ducked.
"He tucked the ball and made like he was about to run. So I was going to tackle him."

I agree with Harrison.
To me, it was a big hit but it was done legally and it's part of the game.
