Face mask and extracurriculars aside, why are ball carriers still allowed to throw punches to the face when no other player (offensive or defensive) is allowed to?

Disappointing.

Aaron's just appealed to the officials on what Suh's done. The officials are going to be looking for anything involving him.

I would've loved to have had a situation where we could take a shot with a scrub backup that we don't need in a spot where a penalty doesn't matter. That spot never really presented itself.
