Sean Davis was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Steelers-Chiefs playoff game after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Chris Conley.
The Chiefs were facing a long third down and threw over the middle towards the goal line. Conley dropped the pass — but it was clear why. He was hit in the head by Davis:

Davis was flagged for an illegal hit for hitting a defenseless receiver. That set up a first down for Kansas City, and the Chiefs ended up scoring a touchdown on the drive.
