A tweet from Pro Football Talk:
PLEASE STOP with the "Mason Rudolph started it" takes. Whatever he said or did does not justify removing his helmet and whacking him in the head with it.

They’re going be some heavy suspensions. Garrett might get the rest of the season off. Pouncey gone a min of 4 gms. WTF was Garrett thinking?

Listen people. If he had caught Mason Rudolph the right way, he could have killed him or hurt him very very badly. F that. This is serious.
